SUMMARY:RSI Day 2026 Week 4
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text] \nRepetitive Strain Injury Day Webinar Series Week 4\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]10:00 AM – 10:15 AM\nWelcome Message and Overview \nTrevor Schell – Coordinator/OHCOW Ergonomist \n  \n\n  \n10:15 AM – 11:00 AM \nProtective or Problematic? Passive Shoulder Exoskeleton Use and Musculoskeletal Risk in Overhead Drilling: A Field to Lab Study\nSpeaker: Maria Valerio – Senior Project Manager\, Conestoga College\nRecent interest in passive shoulder exoskeletons is reshaping how we address musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) risks in overhead construction work. These devices aim to reduce shoulder stress and perceived strain\, yet questions remain about their impact on workers’ risk perception and muscular effort. Using a field to lab research approach\, we examined exoskeleton use during overhead drilling tasks in construction jobs. Overall\, exoskeletons may lower strain in some muscles but shift it to others\, potentially altering risk perception. Informed by this study and related research\, we will provide evidence-based insights to guide ergonomists in MSD prevention strategies. \n  \n\n11:00 AM – 11:45 AM \nPouring over the Data: Conditions of Work and Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain Among Alcohol Service Workers from Ontario\nSpeakers: Kristin Yates – Researcher\, Conestoga College\, Pete Driezen – Senior Data Analyst\, Conestoga College\, Mohammad Howard-Azzeh – Data Analyst\, Conestoga College\nPeople employed in the food and beverage industry in Canada face many occupational health and safety issues. Burnout is a major psychosocial challenge\, especially among servers\, bartenders\, and managers. Likewise\, musculoskeletal discomfort and pain are notable due to physically demanding tasks such as prolonged standing\, repetitive movements\, and handling heavy loads in fast-paced work environments. This study reports the results of a survey of 595 people employed in the alcohol service industry\, primarily from Ontario\, Canada. It explores the psychosocial conditions of work using the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire along with risk factors for chronic pain in this high-risk population. Implications of these findings for the prevention of musculoskeletal injuries in this population are discussed. \n  \n\n11:45 AM – 12:15 PM\nQ & A[/vc_column_text]REGISTER[/vc_column][/vc_row]
