Ergonomics

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  This Curricular Unit aims to provide students with an integrated and modern view of Ergonomics, considering the application of the ergonomic approach to improve working conditions and prevent occupational risks.
• ProgramaProgramme

  Introduction to Ergonomics Ergonomics concepts; The Man-Machine Interface-Working Environment; Types of ergonomic approaches; The ergonomic intervention model; Introduction to Anthropometry Static and dynamic anthropometry; Tables of anthropometric data; The anthropometric sizing of workplaces and work contexts. Application exercises; Introduction to Biomechanics Postures adopted and physical efforts during work; Repetitive movements; Major risk factors associated with the development of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD); Methodologies for risk analysis and risk assessment of MSDs The Ergonomic Approach for the Workplace Ergonomic concerns; Environmental factors for discommodity; The ergonomic study of workstation / workplace; Methodologies for risk analysis and risk assessment of workstation / workplace.¿  New application fields of Ergonomics
• ObjectivosObjectives

  Identify and characterize the fundamental concepts of Ergonomics; Learn to design workstations and work environments suitable to the capabilities and limitations of individuals, taking into account the anthropometric dimensions of the user population and their physical-motor activity; Evaluate postures and body movements during work, through the application of specific risk assessment methodologies; Identify risk factors associated with the appearance of musculoskeletal injuries; Apply methodologies for the ergonomic analysis of workstations, with a view to identifying potential ergonomic problems and their respective control measures.

• MetodologiaMethodology

  The expository method is used to transmit knowledge bases, but mainly the interrogative and active method for a critical analysis of the shared content and the effective application of ergonomic principles in improving working conditions and preventing occupational risks. To acquire these skills, the following teaching and learning methodologies will be used: 1. Expository, for presenting the theoretical frameworks of reference; 2. Interrogative, for question-and-answer interactions and for confirming and clarifying doubts; 3. Active, with analysis and resolution of practical exercises with tutorial guidance in class; 4. Self-study and flipped classroom, related to the student's autonomous work, whether for lesson preparation, written exams, or individual work.
