course description

Ergonomics is concerned with the design of systems to optimize human well being as well as the system. Yet many Occupational Health and Safety practitioners are often faced with ergonomics issues as they deal with negative outcomes from poor physical design of workstations and workplaces. This course will focus on managing the issues that may arise from un-ergonomic design of the workplace.
