MACSC Monthly Meeting: Construction Ergonomics: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
October 11 @ 11:30 am - 1:30 pm
The presentation will highlight how construction ergonomics successes in the past and today have largely gone unrecognized. Despite these previous efforts workers are still experiencing high rates of sprain and strain injuries. We will discuss opportunities to formalize and expand the use of ergonomics. Evolving construction methods and materials, and emerging ergonomics technologies and their impacts will be explored.
