Summary:A very diversified audience in Belgium that include safety officers, paramedical staff, occupational health physicians, union officials, and industrial psychologists, are eager to obtain the basic knowledge of ergonomics. The training is about the organization of training sessions, duration of such sessions, and spectrum possibilities. There are 10 modules of 3 hours each, at a rate of one course a week.

With these training sessions, actors involved in working environments can sort out specific problems with an ergonomic approach.
