Checklist: Ergonomics and work environment in gym
Beware of your own body in daily work
Use this checklist regularly to assess your own working environment as a trainer — both the physical strain and the framework around the teaching. The checklist can also be used as input for the centre's APV (workplace assessment).
§Your own body
- 01Do I vary working positions throughout the day, or stand still for hours?
- 02PLACEHOLDER_102
- 03Do I demonstrate exercises alternately on both sides of the body?
- 04Have I taken short breaks, even on busy days?
§The room and equipment
- 01Is it tidy so that I and team members don't trip over equipment?
- 02Is the noise level (music, machines) bearable for an entire working day?
- 03Is there enough space around the exercises I'm instructing?
- 04Are lighting and temperature reasonable in the rooms I teach in?
§Organic
- 01Is there adequate scheduling time between sessions and briefings?
- 02Am I unnecessarily disturbed by phone or other tasks during teaching?
- 03Do I know who I should go to if something in the work environment is not working?
- 04Is there room to raise workplace safety issues without it being perceived as complaining?
