Join Kiwi construction ergonomists Chris Polaczuk and Dr. Steve Kolose for a look at their Work Should Not Hurt program – an innovative safety and health program from New Zealand that is centered on the worker: https://www.chasnz.org/work-should-not-hurt. The program, focused on ergonomics, is unique in that it generates awareness, research and interventions from tradespeople themselves. Learn about the library of resources, participatory research guiding the project, and how the program has been used in New Zealand to take on soft tissue injuries in an industry with a macho culture.
