This unit of competency specifies the skills and knowledge required to apply concepts associated with human movement, posture and body strength to the design of the environment in which people live and work. It includes using basic statistical techniques, ergonomic data and analysis to identify strategies for the design and fitout of accessible workplaces and living spaces for persons with disability. The design of accessible workplaces will maximise task sequencing to ensure body movements are efficient in terms of energy conservation.

This unit is for individuals who are self-directed and have substantial depth of knowledge and skills to make independent judgements in the provision of access consulting services.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
