This subject does not have any pre-requirement
Objectives and Contextualisation
Know the key aspects for conducting studies of working conditions.
Acquire the necessary knowledge for the design of jobs adapted to the person.
Understand the ergonomic approach to physical factors: noise, lighting, environment chromatic, temperature, etc.
Identify all preventive aspects related to work with visualization screens of data
Understand the importance of the problems derived from the physical load and the establishment of adequate preventive measures.
Know and know how to apply different methods of evaluating the postural load.
Contribute to the improvement of the social and organizational aspects of the work with the objective of safeguard health and safety, with maximum comfort, satisfaction and effectiveness.
Recognize and identify those psychosocial factors existing in the workplace, which can be cause diseases or decrease the capabilities of workers.
Identify situations related to work stress and know the different strategies of the organization to face it.
Adopt a critical perspective regarding a series of situations, which may lead to another series of psychosocial problems such as Burnout, work addiction, etc.
Distinguish the problems arising from personal relationships at work and arrange the measures adequate to prevent it.
Differentiate the key aspects that relate to the mental load.
Ergonomy is a scientific and technical discipline that values the interaction in a specific working environment between the person – machine – environment seeking system harmony, hence using methods that study the person, the design of the site, the way of working, the organization of work, and the surrounding environment. At the same time, psychosocial factors in the working environment affect the health of workers through psychological and physiological mechanisms that can lead to different pathologies, initially mental, and that can trigger organic alterations.
Block I: Applied Psychosociology
Mental load at work. Analysis and evaluation
Psychosocial factors
Organizational structure of the work. I work shifts and night work.
Characteristics of the company, the position and individual
Stress and other psychosocial problems. The burnout syndrome. Mobbing
Consequences of harmful psychosocial factors and their evaluation
Psychosocial intervention: Methodology for evaluating occupational risk prevention programs with psychosocial components.
Block II: Ergonomics.
Ergonomics: Introduction. History. Relationship with other sciences. Concepts and classification. Techniques ergonomic
Environmental conditions in ergonomics. Acoustic comfort Visual comfort. Thermal comfort. Comfort chromatic. Analysis and evaluation
Conception and design of the job. Anthropometry applied to the design of work systems. Occupational biomechanics and job design
Physical workload. Analysis and evaluation. Manual handling of loads. Analysis and evaluation
Work positions. Analysis and evaluation.Repetitive movements. Analysis and evaluation. Evaluation of jobs. The ergonomic report.
The methodology of this allocation will be based on a dynamic and participatory model. Students will have to study the subjects by requiring reading of the materials to be offered, they will have to participate in written discussion forums and video classes.
Development, study, compulsory and recommended bibliographic reading, as well as out-of-table exercise resolution will also occupy a significant part of the learner's dedication time to the subject.
During the six months, a cross-cutting exercise will be carried out, which will be explained in detail during the first part-sessions of this subject.
It is important to mention that video-classes have as their main goal the question of the theme, so it is necessary to prepare the topics before each session
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

The students will make an evaluation through written test in person on the subject that will take place on the date scheduled at the School. This test may be oral at the teacher's discretion.
Re-evaluation
In case of not passing the subject according to the aforementioned criteria (continuous evaluation), a recovery test may be done on the date scheduled in the schedule, and it will cover the entire contents of the program. To participate in the recovery the students must have been previously evaluated in a set of activities, the weight of which equals a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the subject. However, the qualification that will consist of the student's file is a maximum of 5-Approved.
Students who need to change an evaluation date must submit the request by filling in the document that you will find in the moodle space of Tutorial EPSI.
Plagiarism
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with currentacademic regulations, "in the event that the student makes any irregularity that could lead to a significant variation in the grade of an evaluation act, it will be graded with a 0 This evaluation act, regardless of the disciplinary process that can be instructed In case of various irregularities occur in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final grade of this subject will be 0 ". The tests / exams may be written and / or oral at the discretion of the teaching staff.
Students that retake the course
Regarding those students who have to retake the course, it should be emphasized that the assessment methodology is the same as for other students.
