GRAND HAVEN, Michigan, November 22, 2006 –Atlas Ergonomics, LLC, specialists in reducing work-related injuries and related costs, will share another year of documented breakthroughs in real-world ergonomics at the National Ergonomics Conference and Exposition, November 27 through 30, 2006 in Las Vegas.
On Tuesday, November 28, Atlas ergonomic services director David Brodie will offer an introductory to intermediate workshop titled “How to Perform Accurate Office Ergonomics Assessments.” This practical, experience-based session will introduce a systematic approach for identifying and collecting key information; a process for determining needed improvements; and effective, affordable ways to train employees on proper positioning and product use.
