Shouldering the Load with Al Brown

There are multiple risk factors associated with shoulder injury including repetitive work, elevated arm posture, and constrained work spaces.  If you don’t think it’s a problem, think again.  According to a new study published in Human Factors, shoulder injuries cost industry in western countries $29 Billion dollars a year.  Not only is shoulder injury prevention a smart safety practice, but it’s a quality of life issue as well.   On this episode of the MEMIC Safety Experts Podcast, I speak with Al Brown, MEMIC’s Director of Ergonomics about shoulder health and what can be done to prevent shoulder injury.
