Conference overview
There has been a great deal of attention related to the negative health effects of prolonged sitting, to the extent that many erroneously believe that simply substituting long bouts of standing will negate these effects.
This conference will examine current research that links prolonged sitting and standing with musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) and other ill-health outcomes. Drs David Rempel, MD, Professor Emeritus of Medicine University California San Francisco, Michelle Robertson, Scientist, Liberty Mutual Research Institute for Safety, and Jack Callaghan, Director, CRE-MSD will kick-off the conference with a panel presentation of what the current research is telling us.
Case studies and topics covered will include facility design, industry trends, standards and guidelines, implementation processes, interventions and training for the adaptation of sit/stand workstations. Approaches to mitigate negative outcomes and successfully implement sit/stand workstations will be presented.
