The Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce is offering a seminar on Ergonomics in Your Workplace.  During this session we will identify the most common areas of repetitive motion problems, what some forward-thinking businesses are doing to improve job function for their employees, and discuss how to identify and implement a program that gives you the tools to recognize and plan for changes in work function to better match the employee actions (if the demands of the job match the capabilities of the worker, the job-worker interface is optimized). Employers must be aware of the issues faced by older adults and how to use the sound principles of ergonomics to accommodate them in the workplace.
