Ergonomics - Steps to Reduce Workplace Related Injuries Certificate

Ergonomics - Steps to Reduce Workplace Related Injuries Certificate Course

Every year, millions of people around the world are injured at work. Occasionally, these injuries are fatal. Not only do workplace accidents result in pain and suffering for the casualty, but they also come at a cost to the organisation in terms of profit, productivity and reputation. In this course, you will learn how and why taking ergonomic factors into account when designing a job or workplace lowers the chances of an accident. You will discover how successful businesses manage the most common workplace risks and why it is important to consider the work culture as a whole when making changes designed to improve worker safety and wellbeing.

You Will Learn:-

  • What is meant by the term “ergonomics” and why it is necessary to consider the nature of the job, worker characteristics and organisational factors when making decisions that could impact upon worker health and safety.
  • What the term “procedure” means, how procedures are carried out, what to bear in mind when designing a procedure, how and why procedural errors occur and the link between procedures and competence.
  • How to ensure that workers undertake manual handling tasks in a safe and efficient manner and how to limit the number of manual handling tasks carried out at work.
  • Why fatigue is a risk factor in the workplace and how to ensure the welfare of shift workers.
  • Why it is important to promote a culture of safety at work, why making changes can pose difficulties and how to overcome resistance to change.

Benefits Of Taking This Course:-

  • You will be in a position to identify health and safety risks in the workplace, to identify job design problems and to alert your supervisor or manager to issues that require attention.
  • If you work in an HR role, or have been given special responsibility for health and safety at work, you will benefit from this introduction to the interaction between ergonomic factors and accident prevention.
  • If you are a manager, this course will help you to educate your team with regards to health and safety issues, thus promoting a safe working environment.
  • If you are in a senior management position, this course will give you the confidence and knowledge you need to inspire the active development of a positive safety culture.
  • If you are interested in a career in ergonomics or health and safety, this course will provide you with an overview of the key issues confronting organisations today.

loved this course. I feel I could start my own business if I choose to but I prefer working for a company that is already established.

I found this course easy to understand and follow and found it highly useful that I could pick it up and leave it as I wished so I could fit it in around my life.
I am currently scouring the internet and papers and phoning companies in order to find myself employment with in this field of work.

I cannot thank this company enough for enabling me to fulfil a life dream of working with animals.

A great course to introduce and explain the roles and responsibilities of the PA and Administrator, or as a refresher to those wishing to return to the workplace.

The modules are jargon free and clearly laid out with exercises to complete at your own pace. There are useful notes and lists that help to make time management easier in the busy work environment.

I am impressed that the modules can be downloaded, saved or printed for future reference - many other courses do not offer this.

I have almost completed my Admin & PA Diploma and it has given me the confidence to apply for my first admin job in some years.

The course is well written and broken down into easy sections, there is a test at the end of each module. This course is good if you're looking at a new career or even just want a better understanding of exercise, I would recommend the course for for either.

The web site is easy to navigate, I would recommend this for some one wanting to start a career in the fitness industry.

Lisa Hayden

Very informative and interesting to read. Having it broken down into very manageable sections makes it easy to absorb your new found knowledge.

I undertook the Data Protection Certificate course in May 2017. I found the course to have a very in depth amount of detail on Data Protection and the law and legislation around it. It also went into detail on the new Data Protection Act coming in 2018.

I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a course with value for money and also to bulk up their knowledge and perhaps perusing a career in IT or security. The course is audited and comes with a certificate on completion which you are able to print yourself or have one sent out to you for a small fee.
