Learning Outcomes
1.Students will be able to discuss how ergonomics can be aligned with the principles of social justice and equality, and how ethical values can be maintained in the workplace, contributing to the creation of fairer and more equitable working environments.
2.Students will analyse how work study and ergonomics analyses relate to the core concepts of labour economics and social policy, ensuring that social impacts are considered while increasing productivity in the workplace.
3.Students will examine how ergonomic practices affect gender equality and diversity, assessing how ergonomic adjustments can address the needs of different individuals and contribute to the creation of fair working environments.
4.Students will understand how ergonomic adjustments and work study analyses must adhere to scientific ethical principles, ensuring they contribute to workers' health and safety, and prioritising societal benefit in ergonomic solutions.
5.Students will analyse how ergonomic improvements are shaped within the framework of national and international labour law, and how regulations that improve working conditions can be harmonised with social security, occupational health, and safety laws.
