2019 Applied Skills in Ergonomics
 
Applied Skills in Ergonomics: Analysis, Prevention Through Design, and Implementation
07/10 - 07/12/2019
Richmond Field Station
1301 S 46th St
Richmond, CA, 94804
Event Description:

This 3-day workshop provides guided practice in advanced measurement techniques used by practitioners in the field. Attendees will perform a job analysis on one simulated manufacturing/ assembly task and/ or one manual material handling task. The analysis will include exposure measurements addressing validity and reliability of measures and the interpretation of those measures using evidence based threshold limit values and risk assessment tools. New topics in ergonomics (2018 ACGIH TLV for Hand Activity, exoskeletons, etc.) will be explored through this case based approach to learning.  Students will continue their engagement with the case by applying the iterative design process to determine plausible solutions to mitigate the exposures measured. The hypothetical assessment of the design solutions will be explored by discussing various pilot study designs to assess its effectiveness and efficacy.

Target Audience: This educational activity is intended for ergonomists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, physicians, occupational health nurses, industrial hygienists, industrial/mechanical engineers, safety professionals, and others involved in ergonomic exposure assessment.
