On 18 July and 20 July 2017 we presented two exciting ergonomics forums, The Dallas Ergonomics Forum and The Boston Ergonomics Forum respectively. <\/strong><\/p>\n

In all we presented to over 100 attendees, consumed a large quantity of sandwiches and pastries, sipped on selected sparkling wines and listened to 7 expert speakers deliver their presentations over 2 magnificent days.<\/p>\n

The Dallas Ergonomics Forum<\/h2>\n

Starting in Dallas at The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza, our ergonomics forums kicked off with aplomb. We opened, at 1.30pm, with Cardinus US President Bill Pace discussing a favorite Cardinus topic, ergonomics pain in young people. With technology use becoming more prevalent we have to be aware of the negative impacts of this, particularly on growing bodies. Furthermore, there will be the future costs of hiring young people because of these pre-existing conditions.<\/p>\n

Following from that Dr. Daryl Laney talked about MSDs and how the pain and costs associated with them can end up rippling through an organization. After lunch, Donna DeFalco continued with her take on a total worker health system and how advancing worker health can benefit organizations. Finally, Teresa Pacelli of Wells Fargo discussed how measurement of health can help you improve how you manage your workforce.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
