The introductory-to-intermediate workshop, titled "The Complete Ergonomics Program: Managing MSDs from Hire to Retire," will reveal "Where, when, and how to manage MSDs," Brodie says, adding that "An effective program has to go beyond typical ergonomics approaches and address the multiple sources of musculoskeletal problems."
