Module 1: Introduction to Ergonomic Safety
This module provides an introduction to ergonomic safety principles and practices, including the importance of ergonomic safety, hazard identification and risk assessment, and the implementation of control measures to mitigate hazards.
This specialized module focuses on the science of ergonomics and its application in preventing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). You'll learn how to design workspaces that accommodate human capabilities and limitations.
Musculoskeletal disorders account for nearly 33% of all workplace injuries, with proper ergonomic interventions reducing these incidents by 50-90% according to OSHA data.
Key Topics Covered:
•
Ergonomic safety principles
•
Hazard identification and risk assessment
•
Control measures to mitigate hazards
•
Ergonomic safety legislation and regulations
•
Industry standards and best practices
Module 2: Scaffolding Safety
This module covers scaffolding safety, including the design and construction of scaffolding, safe working practices, and the inspection and maintenance of scaffolding.
Key Topics Covered:
•
Scaffolding design and construction
•
Safe working practices for scaffolding
•
Scaffolding inspection and maintenance
•
Scaffolding safety legislation and regulations
•
Industry standards and best practices for scaffolding safety
Module 3: Acrobatic Construction Safety
This module covers acrobatic construction safety, including the planning and execution of acrobatic construction projects, safe working practices, and the inspection and maintenance of equipment.
