Speaker: David Caple AM, David Caple & Associates
New manual handling initiatives
David Caple AM joined us for his annual presentation on human factors and ergonomics. As always, there was a great turnout, because he is a great speaker full of insights. As a member of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society of Australia, David shared the web address www.hfehub.au where there are really interesting podcasts available for all.
David split his presentation into 3 industry groups, bringing his own personal insights into the safety challenges in these changing environments.
- Large retail
- Libraries
- Childcare
He uses observation and conversation with workers, rather than checklists, to review a workplace. As work demands change in these industries, standard equipment and processes of work used for many years are now safety hazards. A great question David shared with us is to ask ‘Why now?’
David’s presentation includes a host of pictorial examples of hazards, as well as many practical examples of simple changes that can be made to improve safety. These changes can be used across many industries, jobs and at home – we could all use a pick–up stick at home!
