Upper Extremity Ergonomics Evaluations and Solutions: Case Studies (Room Versailles 1-2)

23 Aug 17
2:15 PM - 3:15 PM

Tracks: Industrial Ergonomics and Material Handling, Materials Handling, Tools & Workstation Design

Upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders continue to be a significant burden to individuals, workplaces and economies. But, your ergonomics team can help recognize, evaluate and control ergonomic risks to the upper extremities (UE) in industrial environments. Under the guidance of a CPE, your team can use UE analysis tools and their knowledge of the workplace to brainstorm, trial and implement practical application-based solutions to mitigate ergonomic risks in your workplace. Mr. Hoyle will present several applicationspecific industrial case studies showing before and after results of how team-driven solutions mitigated ergonomic risks to the upper extremities.
