Centre for Health and Safety Innovation, Mississauga
In collaboration with the AUTO21 fatigue network, the Center of Research Expertise for Prevention of Musculoskeletal Disorders (CRE-MSD) hosted a stakeholder conference on fatigue at the workplace.
Seven internationally recognized researchers delivered six presentations. Topics ranged from minimizing fatigue in manufacturing and office work to the interaction between physical and mental fatigue. The conference concluded with a panel discussion, bringing together an esteemed group of health and safety practitioners and researchers, to share ideas and experience in developing prevention programs to minimize fatigue.
