Description
This module addresses the risks associated with vibrations emitted by certain portable or manual machines, which may cause disabling disorders to the hands and arms. In France, around 2 million workers, mainly in the construction, mechanical engineering, metallurgy, automobile repair and green space maintenance sectors, are affected by these conditions. However, exposure to these vibrations is not inevitable. Many preventive measures can effectively reduce these risks.
Targets
All employees working in the following sectors:
- Construction,
- Agriculture.
Teaching methods
This module is structured by a deductive educational approach, moving from theory to practice. Theoretical content screens are based on an affirmative (top-down) methodology followed by a summative assessment in the form of QUIZ.
