There is still so much that we need to learn about human function and how it may lead to injury. Thankfully research like this helps our ergonomists deliver solutions that mitigate risks and improve the wellbeing of workers. Work shouldn’t hurt. https://wsps.news/4dHfUrR #GlobalErgonomicsMonth #ergonomics #research #workplacesafety
As Canada Research Chair in Neuromuscular Mechanics and Ergonomics, Michael Holmes, #BrockU Associate Professor of Kinesiology, aims to reduce workplace injuries by studying how hand, arm, shoulder and neck muscles move while performing workplace tasks. #ergonomics @WSPS_NEWS @PSHSAca Learn more ➡️ https://loom.ly/bCttpf4

Farming is both a professional and personal calling. For many, farm life and family life are deeply intertwined. As a result, farmers can be especially susceptible to mental health struggles. Financial uncertainties, isolation, and stigma surrounding mental health in farming communities can amount to significant stress, anxiety, and depression. This World Mental Health Day, we want to break the silence and show our support to farmers. Let this article be a starting point for very important conversations; prompts for continued mental health awareness and practicing positive self-care strategies: https://wsps.news/3U4KvbV #ONTAgWeek #WorldMentalHealthDay #mentalhealth
