keynote Session 16: Emerging DSE Trends and Injury Prevention Strategies
We are all using DSE for hours on daily basis, exposing ourselves to more injury risks especially when working from home. Rachel will help us learn how Display Screen Equipment (DSE) trends such as corner workstation placement, multiple screens, curved and larger screens impact the ergonomics of the office workstation. She will also tell us about how other peripheral tools, such as mice, may see a DSE related increase in use and how to address risk reduction strategies.

keynote Session 17: Methodologies for a Performance Based Approach to Ergonomics Programs
Ergonomics programs have now been in place in the industry for almost 30 years. While there are many modalities to failure and a lack of sustainability, persistent organizations consistently and continually see a clear financial return on investment. Ergonomics programs are largely performance, rather than specification, based and thus may see greater performance from close alignment with departments and initiatives such as ISO 45001 rather than traditional employee health and safety.
