Microcredenciação em Ergonomia - Técnicas de movimentação manual de cargas e bem-estar no local de trabalho

Micro-accreditation in Ergonomics - Manual handling techniques for loads and well-being in the workplace.                                                                                                 "If you adopt the correct movement today, you will avoid injuries tomorrow.”

 

Organizations have become increasingly concerned with their employees in terms of safety, comfort, and well-being, and have developed multiple initiatives aimed at reducing workplace accident rates and occupational diseases.

Manual handling of loads is one of the main ergonomic risk factors and is commonly associated with musculoskeletal pain, reduced productivity, and, in many cases, medical leave. This training therefore aims to equip employees with the skills to apply better ergonomic practices in their daily work.

The training plan provides that, after a brief introduction to Ergonomics, topics related to ergonomic analysis factors, manual handling of loads, musculoskeletal injuries, and the main physical working conditions will be addressed.

There will be a written assessment.

        

ECTS: 1

Objectives

  • Raise awareness of the various factors that may interfere with work performance.

  • Identify the main ergonomic hazards/risks in the performance of work tasks.

  • Promote the adoption of behaviors that can prevent ergonomic risks during the execution of professional tasks.
