Course Aims / Summary:
This course is comprised of 2 modules:
Module 1: is undertaken independently online so you can work through this module at a suitable time and speed for you. Module 1 comprises of a series of short videos, additional reading and exercises, to complete a workbook that must be brought to Module 2. This will enable each delegate to have the necessary understanding to complete the face-to-face study day. Please allow around 10 - 15 hours to complete Module 1.
Module 2: is a one-day face-to-face study day. This will enable physiotherapists to develop the ability to conduct a competent ergonomics risk assessment in the workplace, predominantly concentrating on physical factors. A number of 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.
NOTE: This course does NOT cover the assessment of Display Screen Equipment (DSE) users. To find out about our Office Ergonomics (DSE) Level 1 course click here.
ADDITIONAL SUPPORT: To support you to feel prepared to take part in Module 2, the face-to-face study day, our course tutor, Kathy Roberts, will be available for an online Q&A session via Zoom. This session is designed for all participants to ask questions about any doubts they have related to the course work in Module 1.
This will be at 19:00 on 08/11/23 and you must register for this session by 02/11/23. Details of how to register will be given in the course instructions.
