Content and teaching methods
+ Work on the physical aspects of the work station (as defined in Annex II of the Royal Decree of December 2003) : noise, vibrations, temperature and lighting
- Legislation and standards : overview of ergonomics in law and the code on well-being ; overview of specific standards in ergonomics. Since ergonomics is about adapting every aspect of man's work situation, many legal texts are involved, apart from those traditionally devoted to RSI, relating to : noise, vibrations, psycho-social aspects, work machinery etc. It is therefore useful to remind students of this global approach ; detailed work on these texts is led by lecturers from the MCC responsible for these subjects. In this way, knowledge of the legislation and standards is a kind of cross-disciplinary strand in all the MCC courses.
