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 the setup or creation of workstations or working on the modification of workstations.
Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of safety and risk prevention
Understand the main basic concepts of ergonomics.
Acquire 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 risk of MSDs.
Perform diagnostics, organize, and implement workstation analysis and risk prevention actions according to the objectives set by the company.
Pre-training preparation: 0.5 days
Adaptation of the training to your activity (collection of information on the 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
- Anatomical concepts: muscles, spine, and joints
- Gestures and range of motion
- Static and dynamic efforts and postures
- Handling and MSD risks
DAY 1 Afternoon: The Work Environment
- Visit of the 3 workstations to be analyzed (approx. 20′ per station)
- Gap between prescribed work and 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 process
- Principles and techniques of workstation diagnosis
- Diagnostic tools
- Searching for solutions during the design or workstation layout phase
DAY 2 Afternoon: Workstation Analysis (continued)
- Presentation of an ergonomic study of a concrete case
- Exercise: “Conducting an assessment of your workstation”
- On-site study of company-specific situations with participants
- Training review
DAY 3 Morning or Afternoon (Remote): Participant Presentation
- Presentation of their workstation analysis process: diagnosis and improvement proposals
The proposed methodology is “Action-Learning,” which adapts to each intervention context and is based on concrete case studies specific to the company.
An alternation of theoretical input and fieldwork 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 the immediate and autonomous implementation of the knowledge acquired during the training.
A feedback session (0.5 days remote) will take place approximately 4 weeks after the training session (2 days) to allow participants to carry out an in-depth analysis (ergonomic diagnosis) of the chosen workstation and to propose adapted improvement solutions, which will then be discussed with the whole group.
Training materials will be provided to participants in advance in electronic format.
Immediate evaluation forms will be distributed at the end of the training, and a final round-table discussion will be organized so that participants can assess the contributions, the achievement of objectives, and the 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 follow-up 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.
