Learning Outcomes
- Remember: Identify common ergonomic risk factors and musculoskeletal symptoms that require reporting.
- Understand: Explain muscle fatigue, recovery, and the purpose and limitations of ergonomic controls and lifting assessments.
- Select / Determine: Select suitable workstation, tool, material handling and recovery controls in construction scenarios, and interpret a simple hypothetical lifting index.
- Analyze: Analyze a construction task to distinguish controls that reduce the source of ergonomic demand and determine appropriate follow-up after a change.
Construction tasks can combine force, awkward and static postures, repetition, vibration, contact pressure and limited recovery. Learners need to recognize these demands, report symptoms promptly, and select task changes that reduce exposure. This awareness course addresses that knowledge gap through narrated examples and exam-verifiable choices.

Self-paced English narration across 15 short video lessons and 30 Tribune slides, worked construction examples, a learner guide, and a task-redesign activity with choice-based corrective feedback. No physical demonstration or written assignment is required.
