Exoskeletons in Action: Exploring, Evaluating and Implementing Exoskeletons

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders remain a leading cause of lost workdays, reduced productivity and increased workers’ compensation costs across industries. Occupational exoskeletons offer an innovative solution to these challenges, providing ergonomic support to reduce strain, fatigue and injury risks. This half-day seminar will explore the role of exoskeletons in improving EHS performance. We’ll discuss how to evaluate job tasks for suitability, select the right equipment and implement pilot programs successfully. You’ll learn how to analyze the ergonomic challenges within your workplace and match them to the appropriate exoskeleton solutions; design a pilot program that includes worker training, feedback collection and performance evaluation; and develop strategies to overcome common barriers, including worker acceptance and cost concerns.
