Webinar: Participator Ergonomics, Appreciative Inquiry, and the Design of Work

Professor Robin Burgess-Limerick of the University of Queensland will be:

• Reviewing the evidence and lessons-learned from implementing participatory ergonomics to improve workplace health and safety. Participatory ergonomics means actively involving workers in developing and implementing workplace changes;
• Introducing an appreciative inquiry framework for workplace change; and
• Discussing preliminary results from a project conducted in Australia and Sweden that utilises such an approach to identify opportunities to increase the attractiveness of mining work for both current and future employees.

Following Robin’s visit to Sudbury, he will make his way to Toronto to participate in CIM’s Health and Safety Conference, where he will be presenting “Lessons for the safe implementation of automation in mining”. More information on this event can be found here https://hsc2024.cim.org/
