Area of Specialization: A long-time health and safety specialist, I take integrated approaches based on training and experiences as an ergonomist, occupational hygienist, stress prevention specialist, educator and researcher. Do assessments in the context of helping others learn how to deal with ergonomic issues and related stressors. The work setting doesn't matter; experience in offices, industrial settings, health care and more. Also offer workshops, training, strategic planning, research and body and workplace mapping tools. Some of the materials I've developed or adapted can be found in Seeing the Workplace with New Eyes. A Self-help Guide for Workplace Safety and Health Committees and Safety and Health Representatives, on my website or through SafeWork Manitoba (click here).
