Risks of disproportionate workload, possibilities of influencing work performance. 3. Ergonomic criteria as the basis of legal regulations serving to protect the health of employees - current legislation (principle of work categorization in terms of risk factors of working conditions) 4. Ergonomics of the workplace (factors characterizing the workplace) Exercises 5. Health consequences of excessive static load - the effect of static sitting and standing on the supportive movement system. Ergonomic principles of standing work.

Total physical load - assessment options and measures to protect the health of employees (assessment of energy expenditure) b. Local muscle load - assessment options and measures to protect the health of employees (measurement of local muscle load using the integrated electromyography method) c. Working positions and manual handling of loads 9. Objectification of working conditions when assessing occupational diseases from long-term excessive unilateral overuse 10.
