What’s new in ergonomics – here and overseas

Presentation by: David Caple AM, David Caple & Associates

CSG event video now available (members only)
Presentation package now available (members only)

Our popular annual speaker David Caple, fresh back from the International Ergonomics Association Congress in Korea, gave an update to CSG on 10 September on emerging issues in ergonomics, followed by some interesting local case studies.

The first case study was about the risk of heavy paint cans to store staff and customers. This has resulted in changes to the industry, but there have been further findings from an industry review related to lighter weight cans.

This was followed by a case study on the management of occupational violence and design of safe frontline staff environments, including counters and security systems.

David also discussed 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).

The presenter:

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.

Workplace mental health research findings
Research findings on the state of mental health in Australian workplaces will be discussed on October 8 by psychologist Daryan Rosic, Mental Health Programs and Initiatives Specialist at Allianz Insurance Australia. His talk will draw on several years of external research by Allianz, surveying over 12,000 employees and managers.
Daryan says today’s workforce is experiencing a profound shift towards greater diversity, due to globalisation, changing social dynamics and more inclusive hiring practices. Individuals from diverse backgrounds may face unique challenges and experiences related to mental health and psychosocial safety.
He will discuss how organisations and the work health and safety community can build inclusive environments that support the wellbeing and safety of all individuals, regardless of their backgrounds.
