VelocityEHS’ Virtual Conference Tackles the Challenges of Restarting Work During COVID-19

“Restarting Work: Optimizing Human Performance” will be held on May 21, 2020 from 10 – 11 AM EDT. Working on an assembly line or in other industrial environments can be physically demanding, and maintaining employee health, safety, and performance includes staying in shape. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 work restrictions, many workers have spent weeks or even months away from work or are working reduced hours. Over time, reduced physical activity can lead to “physical deconditioning” resulting in reduced muscle strength, cardiovascular fitness, physical endurance and range of motion, as well as increased fatigue and weight gain.

During the live session, Blake McGowan, director of ergonomics research at VelocityEHS, will share strategies for restarting work and bringing employees back into the workplace, including:

• practices that help make restarting work easier.
• ways to reduce physical stress on workers when restarting work.
• tips to help employees return to work safely.
