Ergonomics and Labour Protection

(in Polish) IS1P_U08

(in Polish) -

The aim of the course is to introduce students with the demands and needs of people in their working environment. During the classes, students are familiarized with the relationship between man and

the workplace and the working environment, including ergonomic, physiological and hygienic aspects; as well as occupational risks, the role of ergonomics in the working environment.

The next steps of course students will address issues of ergonomic design. During the lessons, students will have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the standards of the design of their workplace.

Knowledge:

IS1P_W08 - the student knows basic general knowledge in the field of ergonomic design as well as processes covering the key issues of ergonomics, physiology and hygiene at work, necessary for professional activities related to environmental engineering.

Assessment methods and criteria:

Lecture: final test (single-choice questions, open-ended questions) based on the content provided during the lecture.

The student who attended the lectures can take the exam.

Three absences are allowed, one of which must be excused.

Scope of grades from the final test:

94-100% - 5

93-88% - 4.5

87-80% - 4

79-70% - 3.5

69-60% - 3

less than 59.9% - 2
