The segmentation of health management and injury prevention systems remains one of the most pressing barriers to achieving Total Worker Health in the modern workplace. In this session, a certified professional ergonomist and a registered kinesiotherapist will address the value of integrating these disciplines through the delivery of ergonomic and exercise interventions. Together, these interventions form a powerful tool that occupational health and safety professionals can use to reduce injuries, create an ergonomically safe work environment and promote positive behavioral change. You’ll learn actionable, practical methods for implementing ergonomics and exercise interventions to further organizational health and safety outcomes and optimize critical aspects of employee well-being.
