Ergonomic group counselling

Teaching for a group with short individual guidance afterwards.

Why?

With good knowledge of the connection between working positions, work technique and musculoskeletal disorders, it is possible to prevent some of these disorders.

What is included?

Themes for the counselling are:

  • information/advice regarding work techniques and positions
  • design of workplaces - different types of chairs, tables, lighting, placement, PC equipment, etc. as well as appropriate use of these
  • breaks, variety and own activity as prevention
  • information on what can be included in individual function assessments and adaptation (of workplace and tasks)

This is done for groups up to 15 employees, there is a short individual guidance for those who want it after the group counselling.

Preparations at the unit

It is recommended that the group counselling is set up in the action plan at the annual order meeting between the faculties and OHSU. The unit must arrange premises for the group counselling, as well as set up a list of those of the participants who want individual guidance afterwards.
