Course Aims / Summary

To enable physiotherapists to develop the ability to conduct a competent ergonomics risk assessment in a variety of workplaces such as factories, assembly lines and warehouses. It predominantly concentrates on physical factors and several ergonomics risk assessment tools will be taught. 

The delegate will be able to undertake an ergonomics assessment of an individual, or a small group, in a setting where the issues are mainly physical.  The delegate will be able to prepare a suitable report of such assessments, with recommendations to manage identified risk. 

*Please note, this course DOES NOT cover DSE workstation assessment.
