Greetings PSHFES Members

  The finishing touches are being made to the Symposium and Workshop, which will be on September 18 & 19, 2013 at the Museum of Flight.  Our symposium keynote speaker is William Marras, PhD, the Director of the Biodynamics Laboratory at Ohio State University. Dr. Marras will be talking about “The Working Back”.

The workshop will focus on Manual Material Handling and will provide the audience with practical methodology for assessing and controlling workplace MMH risks.  Workshop attendees will benefit from expert advice from a host of professionals including, but not limited to, James Galante, the EASE Council Chairman and Dr. Stephen Bao, from SHARP. 
 
We also have a few events coming up; Ergotron product demonstration in June, a Tukwila Bottling Tour likely in August and later this fall a Biomechanics dinner with Mike Hutchinson from Veritas. So stay tuned to the website for event announcements with specific dates and times.

Let us know if you have any ideas for tours and or dinner meetings, as we always appreciate hearing from you.

Janet DeLapp, PSHFES President 2013
