Courses on the RAMP Tool

Two types of courses on the RAMP tool provided by KTH

From the autumn 2023 KTH will be offering two types of courses on the RAMP tool:

1. Open-for-all, fully online courses in English 
2. Lifelong learning courses, in part in Swedish, consisting of the material in the Open-for-all courses and in addition online seminars and additional assignments. These are described more in detail below.

RAMP open-for-all fully online courses are planned to be provided from the autumn 2023 again

We are currently working on adapting the popular, fully online, training package on the RAMP tool to a digital KTH Royal Institute of Technology platform.

We hope to be able to launch these courses (in English) again staring during the autumn 2023. More information will be posted here, so please check in here again towards the end of the August 2023.

In these three courses you learn how to apply the whole risk management process, from risk identification, and risk assessment, to concrete action plans and follow-ups. These courses are taken online, are self-paced and free of charge. You can choose to study each course individually. Everyone is welcome to register and no specific prerequisites are required.

In RAMP Course 1: Assessment of Work-Related Injury Risks using RAMP I, you get an overview of the entire RAMP tool and you learn to identify and assess musculoskeletal (MSD) risks using the first module in the RAMP tool (RAMP I). 

In RAMP Course 2: Risk Management of Work-Related Injuries using RAMP II, you learn to use all four modules in the RAMP tool. This includes, for example, how to present results from risk assessments for different stakeholders within an organisation and how you create action plans for improvement.

In RAMP Course 3: Proficiency in using RAMP for Risk Management of Work-Related Injuries about RAMP, you learn to use all four modules in the RAMP tool and you become skilled in managing the whole risk management process and you will work with authentic cases from the business community.

The Courses are developed with support from; Scania, Avonova and EIT Health, Loods Åkeri, Svenskt Butikskött AB, Ensto Ensek AS and Arla Foods AB.

RAMP Lifelong learning courses will be provided again starting in autumn 2023

KTH Royal Institute of Technology offers a training package on the RAMP tool as part of KTH’s Lifelong learning initiative, starting in the autumn again. In three courses (CH209V, CH210V and CH211V), which will be running sequentially, you will learn how to apply the whole risk management process, from risk identification, and risk assessment, to concrete action plans and follow-ups.

These courses consist in part of the material provided in the “open-for-all” RAMP courses in English (please see above) and in part of digital seminars and assignments in connection to the seminars, mainly in Swedish. If you successfully complete the courses, you will earn 2.5 ECTS credits per course. More information about the courses, prerequisites, how to apply, etc. is available here.
