Events
Webinar - MSD Risk in Sonography: Do Patient Size, Scan Time, and Scan Location Matter?
Sonographers are at high risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) due to holding awkward postures, making repetitive motions, and applying sustained hand forces. This webinar will share the results of a digital human modelling study that examined upper extremity posture and arm strength demands in sonographers.
Webinar - Human Factors and Ergonomics in Canadian Engineering Education: A National Study of Gaps and Opportunities
This webinar presents findings about the inclusion of Human Factors and Ergonomics (HF/E) content across all accredited undergraduate engineering programs in Canada. Learn about the current state of HF/E education in Canada, the implications for human-centred design and musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) prevention, and opportunities to strengthen engineering education to better support worker health, safety, and wellbeing.
