Ergonomic Solution Guidelines are a Growing Trend:
Shipyards Lead the Way
A big challenge with ergonomics is the lack of practical knowledge on solutions to existing problems. The need to address these challenges beyond administrative and work practice controls has resulted in a push and emphasis by employers and government to provide practical solutions to address ergonomic issues in the workplace. In this edition, EORM ergonomist Ben Zavitz walks us through a practical approach to providing solutions to meet OSHA's new voluntary ergonomics guidelines.

Emergency Management – Is Your Company Prepared?
A FREE webcast sponsored by EORM and Occupational Hazards
Every year, natural and man-made emergencies take their toll on business and industry, impacting lives and companies’ bottom line. Does your company have a response plan for how it would handle a tornado or hurricane, or a hazardous material, biological, or radiological incident?
Emergency management looks at all possible threats, rates the facility's vulnerability, and then develops a strategy to minimize the effects and return to normal operations as quickly as possible.
This free, one-hour session outlines the concepts of emergency management and will help get you started in the planning process. Whether you operate in an office high-rise, an industrial park, or an isolated facility, planning for emergencies is critical. If you already have a emergency response plan, this session will help you to assess and update your current strategy.
