This training enables participants to:
– Learn the principles and theoretical foundations of ergonomics and workstation analysis to become a prevention advocate,
– Incorporate ergonomics from the design phase of future workstations, production lines, or projects, as well as by taking action on existing workstations,
– Contribute to the continuous improvement of working conditions within their company.
Anyone involved in setting up or creating workstations or working on modifying workstations.
Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of safety and risk prevention
Master the main basic concepts of ergonomics.
Acquire the methodologies to design and improve the layout of physical workspaces with maximum safety, comfort, and efficiency.
Integrate ergonomics and prevention into professional practice to anticipate and reduce the risks of MSDs.
Conduct diagnostics, organize, and implement actions for workstation analysis and risk prevention according to the objectives set by the company.
Pre-training preparation: 0.5 day
Adaptation of the training to your activity (collection of information on work situations to be studied).
DAY 1 Morning: Humans at Work
- Definitions of ergonomics
- Regulatory aspects
- Benefits of ergonomics for the worker and the company
- Some notions of anatomy: muscles, spine, and joints
- Movements and joint ranges
- Static and dynamic efforts and postures
- Handling and MSD risks
DAY 1 Afternoon: The Work Environment
- Visit to the 3 workstations to be analyzed (approx. 20′ per station)
- Gap between prescribed work – actual work
- Physical atmospheres of the work environment
- Temporal conditions related to shift work (3x8H)
- Teamwork
- Biomechanical, mental, organizational, and environmental constraints of the workstation
DAY 2 Morning: Workstation Analysis
- Presentation of the workstation analysis approach
- Principles and techniques of workstation diagnosis
- Diagnostic tools
- Searching for solutions during the design or layout phase of a workstation
DAY 2 Afternoon: Workstation Analysis (continued)
- Presentation of an ergonomic study of a concrete case
- Exercise: “Assessment of your workstation’s current state”
- On-site study of company-specific situations with participants
- Training review
DAY 3 Morning or Afternoon remotely: Participant Feedback Session
- Presentation of their workstation analysis approach: diagnosis and improvement proposals
The proposed methodology is that of “Action-Training,” which adapts to each intervention context and is based on specific concrete case studies from the company.
An alternation of theoretical input and field work will be adopted so that participants can best understand health, safety, design, and workstation layout issues through the study of work situations present in their company.
This method allows for immediate and autonomous implementation of the knowledge acquired during the training.
A feedback session (0.5 day remote) will take place approximately 4 weeks after the training session (2 days) to allow participants to conduct an in-depth analysis (ergonomic diagnosis) of the chosen workstation and propose appropriate improvement solutions, which will then be discussed with the entire group.
Training materials will be provided to participants in electronic format beforehand.
“Hot” evaluation forms will be distributed at the end of the training, and a final round table will be organized, so that participants can assess the contributions, achievement of objectives, and quality of the training provided.
At the end of the feedback session, a certificate of completion will be given to each participant.
Follow-up:
A “cold” evaluation in the form of a questionnaire will be sent to participants approximately 6 months after the training to measure its effects on their practices within the company.
