New thoughts on the role of ergonomics

Presentation package now available (members only)

On 12 September Professor David Caple AM shared some of the key issues and new findings from two international conferences he had just attended.

The question of what systems performance is and how it can be achieved was the subject of a number of sessions at the July conference of Organizational Design and Management in Bordeaux, France.

David outlined insights from this conference on how ergonomics can adapt to improve wellbeing and systems performance across multiple industries. The conference’s aim was to provide ‘insights, revelations and recommendations’ on the role of ergonomics.

Australia’s approach to prevention of manual handling injuries was under the spotlight at the Human Factors and Ergonomics Malaysia conference in August. It included a comparative review of Australian and Malaysian approaches.

David Caple gave a presentation there on the subject of 'Sustainable ergonomics interventions to MSD risks in industries'. He outlined some successful programs in different industries in Australia and shared those with us as well.

Psychological safety at work
Come along to a special event on 14 May with 3 in-person presenters from WorkSafe Victoria, including an Inspector, on the topic of psychological safety.
Any worker experiencing unsafe work is a matter of concern for all – employees, employers, insurers, and regulators. So what are some practical approaches companies can take to prevent mental injuries and create safe and mentally healthy workplaces?
We’ll hear from people working on this issue for WorkSafe Victoria. They will talk about their experience supporting Victorian employers to adopt a psychosocial risk management approach in their workplaces. This includes the range of psychosocial hazards that duty holders need to address. They will outline how to access the tools and resources that make getting started easy.
There will an extended Q&A session, so bring along your thoughts and questions and join the discussion.
