Safety, Ergonomics & Sustainability in CI
The module that closes the foundation tier, by treating safety, ergonomics and resource waste as part of improvement rather than a competing priority. It covers the hierarchy of controls, near-miss reporting, the force-posture-repetition model of ergonomic risk, and the six green wastes. You will leave able to review any change against three questions: is it safer, is it easier on the person, is it cleaner?
What you'll learn
- ✓Apply the hierarchy of controls so design beats discipline when a hazard is found
- ✓Treat every near-miss as free data and report it without blame
- ✓Spot ergonomic risk through force, posture and repetition, and the aches that warn early
- ✓Explain why a comfortable workstation removes error traps and improves quality
- ✓Hunt the six green wastes and lock the gains in with standards and tags

Awareness-level training built on public-domain Lean and continuous-improvement practice - the Toyota Production System canon, PDCA, and the wider Lean literature. It supports, but does not replace, your organisation's own procedures, standards and legally mandated training; your site's rules and local regulations always take precedence. Nothing here is certification or legal advice.
