How to effectively adapt your workstation to the specific constraints of the field?
This module offers you a concrete immersion to answer this key question, guiding you in the analysis of three real work situations, representative of the most common sedentary environments.
Why is this module essential?
✔ Because applying the right principles of ergonomics is not limited to knowing the rules: one must also know how to adapt them to the reality of the field.
✔ Because poorly adjusted settings at a sedentary workstation can lead to long-term MSDs (musculoskeletal disorders), chronic fatigue, and disengagement of employees.
What you will experience in this module:
• You will be faced with 3 interactive case studies to adjust, correct, and improve various workstations.
• You will make strategic choices to adapt postures and the environment taking into account:
– physical constraints,
– available tools,
– individual characteristics of users.
• You will test your knowledge in a mega final quiz to reinforce best practices.
• Finally, you will receive a personalized assessment delivered by a virtual coach to conclude on your progress and points of attention.
