Concise description:
This course provides students with a sound understanding of the effects of the thermal environment on people. The physiology of thermoregulation and the effects of extreme temperatures (heat and cold) is explained. Furthermore, it explains the methods available for performing a thermal survey and assessing the degree of risk. Finally, the possible means of controlling the risks associated with thermal stress are described.
The material is appropriate for students, who have basic knowledge of physics and physiology. For teachers, a guideline is added.
The course consists of ready-to-use material, that can be downloaded free of charge, printed and displayed. No on-line interaction is necessary.

Concise description:
This course teaches the nature and physics of noise, the functioning and structure of the human ear, and effects of noise on people. It is learned how to assess noise risks in the work place and in a general environment. It will teach about noise sources and their control, and about hearing protection. The relevant exposure standards for noise are explained.
