Description:
The aim of the teaching module is to give the student a basic knowledge on work physiology, occupational safety and hygiene, ergonomics and work environment safety. Lectures present characteristics of physical, operational and office-intellectual work as well as the characteristics of the occupational environment and threats. The basic preventions methods of the occupational and environmental threats are presented. The classes concern basic measurements and assessment methods of physical and mental work capacity, physical and mental work load, basic environmental characteristic as well basic standards and regulations concerning occupational law.
