Undergraduate Certificate Advanced Ergonomics and Workplace Design for Health and Safety Practitioners Certification

Introduction to ergonomic principles and their importance in workplace design. Topics include human factors, anthropometry, and ergonomic risk assessment.

This specialized module focuses on the science of ergonomics and its application in preventing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). You'll learn how to design workspaces that accommodate human capabilities and limitations.

Musculoskeletal disorders account for nearly 33% of all workplace injuries, with proper ergonomic interventions reducing these incidents by 50-90% according to OSHA data.

Exploration of advanced techniques for designing ergonomic workspaces. Topics cover workstation design, layout optimization, and tools for ergonomic assessment.

This technical module covers the principles of ergonomic workplace design. You'll learn to analyze workstations, tools, and equipment to optimize them for human use, reducing strain and improving efficiency.

Well-designed workspaces can increase productivity by up to 25% while simultaneously reducing error rates and injury risks.

Strategies for implementing ergonomic interventions and solutions in various industries. Topics include job rotation, ergonomic equipment selection, and ergonomic training.
