The ultimate guide to workplace ergonomic risk assessment
What you'll learn
Navigating the legal landscape of ergonomics, including OHS Act safety duties, 2019 Regulations, and legal medical surveillance rules.
Mastering advanced assessment techniques like the NIOSH Lifting Equation, RULA, REBA, and the MAC Tool to calculate risk rather than guessing posture safety.
Conducting professional posture audits and gathering worker data while ensuring that workspace layouts support natural neutral alignment.
Designing and tracking engineering controls that fix high posture risks and preventing musculoskeletal disorders within the workplace.
Requirements
Anyone with a computer, laptop or phone and internet access can take this course.
No prior technical certification is required.
Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence. This technology is integrated directly into the research, analysis, and synthesis of core ergonomic science, hazard analysis, and risk assessment metrics, aligning fully with both South African and international standards.
When a skeletal injury happens in the workplace, the first instinct is often to blame heavy lifting. But blame doesn't optimise the next workstation, but understanding the body does. Whether it is a minor strain or a severe chronic disability, every posture issue is a sign of poor system mechanics.
For an assessor or a safety representative, the ability to analyse physical stress and apply objective metrics is what separates a compliant workplace from a painful one. The Training Academy provides a structured, professional approach to ergonomics that meets the highest South African statutory compliance. This course dives deep into the requirements of the Ergonomics Regulations of 2019 and the vital statutory mandates, ensuring you know exactly how to evaluate risks and how to implement strict controls set by the OHS Act framework.
You will learn how to analyse postures, gather dimensions without error, and conduct evaluations that get to the root of physical strain. We move beyond basic paperwork to teach you powerful software metrics used by global ergonomic experts. You will master the RULA method to evaluate upper limb fatigue, use REBA tracking to map out total body postural stressors, and apply the NIOSH lifting formula to calculate load limits.
By focusing on "Force, Posture, and Frequency" metrics, you will learn to recommend engineering designs that fit workers. This course isn't just about measuring angles; it's about building an advanced safety culture where every hazard assessment becomes a choice to optimise productivity and shield your team.
Who this course is for
Health and Safety Representatives, Occupational Health Practitioners, Risk Assessors, and Employers who are legally required to manage ergonomic risks.
