Managing Risk in a World of Changing Work and Emerging Technologies
The Future of Ergonomics
As workplaces evolve through changes in technology and work organization, ergonomics programs are being challenged to adapt. Workers are no longer confined to traditional desks and fixed workstations— they work from home, in vehicles, at hoteling stations, and on mobile devices, introducing new physical, cognitive, and psychosocial risk factors that are not always addressed by traditional ergonomics approaches. At the same time, emerging technologies such as AI-based video task analysis, wearable sensors, and exoskeletons promise new ways to identify risk and enhance human performance. But what do these tools truly offer?
It is our pleasure to host Rachel Mitchell a Canadian Certified Ergonomist (CCPE) with a Masters of Science in Human Factors Engineering and over 20 years of workplace ergonomic experience. Rachel works for Ergo Inc a EMC preferred provider.
This session will explore how the nature of work is changing, how risk is shifting along with it, and what this means for modern ergonomics programs. Participants will learn how to evaluate new technologies, apply ergonomics principles in non-traditional and technology-driven environments, and build resilient, effective, and future-ready ergonomics programs.
