Learning outcomes: Knowledge Student: W1 - understands the role of corrective and conceptual ergonomics in the optimization process of work and objectives of quantitative and qualitative ergonomic diagnoses [BC1_W19, BC1_W21]; W2 - indicates the source of the biological cost of work and its impact on the level of fatigue [BC1_W21, BC1_W07]; W3 - defines the factors material environment of work and their impact on productivity, health workers and the risk of accidents at work [BC1_W21]; W4 - knows methodological basis of creating anthropometric standards for ergonomic design [BC1_W03, BC1_W04, BC1_W18]. Skills Student: U1 - selects the appropriate methods for assessing the level of physical and mental effort at work [BC1_U02, BC1_U12, BC1_U15]; U2 - perform basic measurements parameters of the working environment in order to evaluate the ergonomic adaptation of workplaces [BC1_U15, BC1_U11, BC1_U02] U3 - has the ability to prepare project work [BC1_U18];
