There are over 70 different processes, each requiring a high degree of skill and advanced technology. The hazards welders face are numerous. Examples include: noise, ergonomics, electric shock, burns, exposure to UV, IR and visible light, and exposure to metal fumes and associated gases. This presentation will focus on the respiratory hazards faced by welders. Special attention will be paid to manganese and hexavalent chromium. Grinding, other related tasks and personal protective equipment will also be discussed.

Prolonged sitting has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and even death. But how much do we really sit in a typical day and what are we at risk of? This session will address such questions and examine the term prolonged as it relates to sitting. Recommendations for avoiding prolonged sitting will be provided as they relate to both the workplace and everyday life. Many ergonomic recommendations and changes, whether they are proactive or reactive in nature or related to RTW issues, tend to neglect a major aspect of the cognitive side; how our brain controls our movement. Our movement patterns and habits are controlled by a specific area of our brain, and understanding how this works is critical when designing tasks, making recommendations for changes, or when training workers on how to perform their jobs.
