Room: 716B Session #: 120

Are you compliant? In December 2017, the CSA Guideline on Office Ergonomics underwent a transformation to become the CSA Standard “Office Ergonomics – An application standard for workplace ergonomics.” Most notable is the significant update to reflect more modern work practices and current research on the health effects of sitting. The evolution of the guideline means that many workplaces should revisit their office ergonomics program to ensure they are compliant with this new standard. Hear a summary of the updates that will help you evaluate and improve your existing workplace program and ensure that your workplace is compliant. This talk qualifies for CPD hours.
