Improve work environments using RAMP (Risk management Assessment tool for Manual handling Proactively)! In this course, you will get an overview of the entire RAMP tool and learn to identify and assess musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) risks using the RAMP tool’s first module, RAMP I. MSDs are one of the most common reasons for absence from work today. It leads to reduced productivity and quality losses at companies, as well as increased medical costs. This course is part one of a RAMP program. The other courses are Risk Management of Work-Related Injuries using RAMP II and Proficiency in using RAMP for Risk Management of Work-Related Injuries.

What can we do to address the sustainability challenges we face? In this course, you will gain insight into how individuals, organisations and societies approach sustainability challenges in different ways. In various parts of the world different challenges are prioritized and thereby, various approaches and solutions are needed. You will learn about the considerations needed to make decisions of how to prioritize sustainable development. You will also be introduced to different strategies for changing values, attitudes and behaviours. The course introduces enforcements that are applied to influence individuals within companies and in the society at large, including different incentives and instruments to ensure more sustainable behaviours. This course is relevant to professionals working in industry, policymakers, or students in engineering. What you'll learn Identify and prioritize solutions based on different perspectives About how the values, attitudes and behaviours for sustainable development are connected About different environmental management tools How to implement organizational learning, incentives and instruments to change behaviours for sustainable development Concepts used in the current sustainability debate See all free online courses that KTH offers

Please note that this course is taught in Swedish. The Earth's climate is changing, but can we change our behavior? To create a sustainable future, we need to understand the psychological mechanisms that influence our choices, habits, and attitudes. This course provides you with tools to design effective interventions based on factors such as social norms, economic incentives, and communication. Human behavior is complex. Although we are often aware of which behaviors have a negative impact on the climate, they are difficult to change. The course is therefore based on environmental psychology theories and behavioral design to help you analyze, understand, and influence behaviors related to consumption, energy, and other environmentally impactful actions. The course is also offered in a longer format as a credit-giving, freestanding course (also taught in Swedish): Environmental psychology and behavior analysis 4 credits

As electricity grids evolve, the benefits of batteries have become more apparent and they are now seen as important assets, not only for backup but also as active components supporting grid stability and energy transition. This course is an introduction to the basics of exploring how batteries interact with the grid and emphasizes self-directed learning. You will practice how to: Use basic energy storage models and tools Design and analyze battery storage systems for different applications Use basic battery aging models

In this course package you will get a basic introduction to the concept of sustainable development. Among other things, we will discuss: The three pillars of sustainability (economic, social and ecological sustainability) Planetary boundaries Resource management  You will also learn about key competences for sustainability such as systems thinking and values thinking, and get an overview of the basic mechanisms of Earth’s climate and climate change.

Climate adaptation is the process of adjusting to current or expected climate impacts to reduce harm and, where possible, capitalize on potential benefits. This course provides an introduction to the core concepts, strategies, and challenges associated with climate adaptation and risk management, such as: Climate change impacts and fundamental concepts like risk and vulnerability Key principles and strategies of climate adaptation Tools used by scientists and practitioners to assess climate risk and monitor solutions Global adaptation challenges, including financing and transboundary cooperation

Improve work environments using RAMP (Risk management Assessment tool for Manual handling Proactively)! In this course, you practice using all four modules in the RAMP tool to manage musculoskeletal (MSD) risks. You become skilled in managing the whole risk management process and get to work with authentic cases from the business community. MSDs are one of the most common reasons for absence from work today. It leads to reduced productivity and quality losses at companies, as well as increased medical costs. This course is part three of a RAMP program. The other courses are Assessment of Work-Related Injury Risks using RAMP I and Risk Management of Work-Related Injuries using RAMP II.

This course is taught in Swedish. The availability of the electric power system and the risks that exist for the power system are of very high importance for our entire society, not least with regard to moving towards a more sustainable society. This course starts with a jump start of about two hours where you get a quick overview of the topic so you can also decide if you want to go deeper in the course. You will learn about the electric power system in general, with some focus on electricity distribution with problems and challenges in the area, and then more specifically about: Components, determine the lifetime Systems, calculate system availability for two-node systems Power system analysis, calculate system metrics (SAIDI and SAIFI, etc.) Risk analysis, basic elements and how these are often performed The link between sustainability and reliability Life cycle cost (LCC) calculations

Improve work environments using RAMP (Risk management Assessment tool for Manual handling Proactively)! In this course, you learn to use all four modules in the RAMP tool to manage musculoskeletal (MSD) risks. This includes, for example, how to present results from risk assessments and how to create action plans for improvement. MSDs are one of the most common reasons for absence from work today. It leads to reduced productivity and quality losses at companies, as well as increased medical costs. This course is part two of a RAMP program. The other courses are Assessment of Work-Related Injury Risks using RAMP I and Proficiency in using RAMP for Risk Management of Work-Related Injuries.
