The Pacific Northwest Ergonomics Roundtable is a quarterly opportunity for ergonomics practitioners to meet and discuss the current state of the art and science of ergonomics in a collaborative forum. It is made up of ergonomists, IHs, OTs, PTs, nurses, space planners, business professionals, ergonomics equipment manufacturer’s representatives, and safety professionals. These attendees come from hospitals, corporations, state government, utilities, municipalities, universities, and private consultancies.

Meetings typically begin with a presentation on an issue of importance or relevance to the attendees. This is followed by a roundtable in the last hour, when attendees can bring up projects they are working on or provide information, which may help those in attendance.

Everyone is welcome to attend the Roundtable meetings. If you would like to be included in the email list for notices of meetings, e-mail Bruce Coulter at coub235@Lni.wa.gov. RSVPs are requested so the host knows the room size and number of refreshments needed.

If you would like to attend a Roundtable, please RSVP to Bruce Coulter at coub235@Lni.wa.gov by the time specified in the notice of the meeting.
