Grand Haven, MI—June 4, 2010—Atlas Ergonomics, LLC, known for proven, practical strategies for reducing work-related injuries and related costs, will share its latest findings in a workshop at the American Society of Safety Engineers national conference, June 13 through 16, 2010 in Baltimore.
In the Wednesday June 16 session, "Transportation Ergonomics: Factors Leading to Discomfort and Injury," Atlas ergonomic services director David Brodie will present a year-long study of 28,000+ truck drivers, showing correlations between driver physiology, cab environment and risks of specific injuries.

In addition to the presentation, Atlas will share information throughout the conference at booth #2811. Conference attendees are invited to meet and speak with Brodie during exhibition hours.
