Learning outcomes |
The course aims to provide participants with essential knowledge and skills to identify, assess, and mitigate risks associated with fatigue and sleep deprivation in the workplace, with a focus on total working time management. Learners will develop the ability to apply preventive methodologies in industrial settings, recognize fatigue-related risk factors, and implement evidence-based practices. The online theoretical component delivers scientific foundations on sleep, biological rhythms, and fatigue, while the in-person sessions offer practical application, use of monitoring tools, and case-based discussions. This structure ensures alignment between the learning objectives and the teaching methods, fostering active, reflective, and technically grounded learning.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The assessment combines diagnostic, formative, and summative components, ensuring alignment with the learning objectives. In the online component, participants complete self-assessment quizzes throughout the modules, with automated feedback to reinforce learning. In the in-person sessions, assessment is based on active participation, completion of practical exercises, and the development of an individual fatigue risk prevention plan. This final assignment is evaluated based on the application of acquired knowledge, relevance of proposed measures, and feasibility in workplace settings. The final grade is weighted as follows: 40% participation and practical activities; 60% final applied project. This approach ensures continuous assessment focused on practical implementation and skills transfer.
