This course introduces the fundamental principles of ergonomics and body mechanics necessary to minimize physical strain and prevent musculoskeletal injuries in the demanding maritime environment. Participants learn the correct techniques for heavy lifting, carrying, and pushing, alongside strategies to optimize workspace setups and tool handling aboard vessels. By focusing on identifying physical risk factors—such as repetitive motion, awkward postures, and whole-body vibration—the curriculum trains crew members to adjust their movements proactively, implement core-strengthening habits, and reduce the long-term risk of debilitating back injuries during daily shipboard duties.
