Ergonomic Safety
OFSWA has developed a series of brief meetings for workers and their supervisors to discuss ergonomic problems and solutions in their workplace. Each safety talk is downloadable and consists of the information with which the person who’s delivering the safety talk needs to be familiar, followed by a Presentation Guide which can be used during the actual safety talk. For shorter and more informal workplace meetings on ergonomic issues, our Talking Safety series of one-page resources includes a number of ergonomic topics.
