What's new in ergonomics – here and overseas
Our popular annual speaker David Caple, fresh back from the International Ergonomics Association Congress in Korea, will give an update to CSG on 10 September on emerging issues in ergonomics, followed by some interesting local case studies.
The first case study is about the risk of heavy paint cans to store staff and customers. This has resulted in changes to the industry, but there are further findings from an industry review related to lighter weight cans.
This will be followed by case studies related to reviews and solutions for occupational violence for frontline staff in public spaces.
David will also discuss a new publication he launched at the Congress, a resource for business leaders Giving your business the human factors edge… Making it Happen! David is a co-author alongside Karen Lange-Morales (Colombia) and Andrew S. Imada (USA).
Professor David Caple AM is a leading figure in occupational health and safety here and overseas. He is a Certified Professional Ergonomist (CPE) in Australia, UK, and USA.
He has advised a wide range of businesses, industry groups and public sector organisations and worked with Australian and overseas governments on work health and safety strategy. He was involved in the development of legislation relating to the prevention of MSD for the Australian government and led multiple industry-based MSD prevention projects.
David was the 16th President of the International Ergonomics Association (IEA) 2006-2009 and represented the IEA at conferences and meetings in 30 countries.
He has spent 40 years as an OHS consultant, and was Adjunct Professor, Centre for Ergonomics & Human Factors, La Trobe University for the last 20 years.
