Session 1: Developing Your Ergonomics Culture:

Where are you on your journey?

By Joanette Lima PT, MS, CPE, Ergonomic Focus
Safety is integral to your operation, but there are often challenges that safety professionals face when developing a culture that will support the resources needed to sustain an effective ergonomics process. What contributes to this, and how can we turn those challenges into opportunities?

Topics include:



  • What are our challenges, and how can we get past the barriers?

  • Is the risk real? Real-world examples of risk factors for MSD’s.

  • Is there a better way? Using the hierarchy of controls to manage risk.

  • What opportunities lie ahead? Strategies to reduce gaps and build a better foundation.

Session 2: Developing Your Ergo Coach:

Tips for Effective Manager / Supervisor Ergonomics Training

By Diana Pelletier, MS, CPDM, CEAS II, RC-OWCP, President/CEO P3 Ergonomics
As a safety professional, you are tasked with multiple responsibilities; how can you extend your reach and effectiveness in the area of ergonomics? One way is to enlist existing managers and supervisors as a first line of defense. This session will provide practical tips for how you can develop managers and supervisors to become Ergo Coaches. Information will cover:

  • Simple solutions to spot and solve common ergo issues

  • How to respond to early reports of employee discomfort

  • Becoming familiar with common ergonomic equipment adjustments

  • Coaching employees to better work behaviors

Attendees will also receive handouts with suggestions on how to review a workstation setup for “ergonomic” effectiveness.
Session 3: Developing your Employee:

Engage your Employee, Educate your Employee, Evolve your Ergonomic Culture

Mike Gee, PRO FIT Ergonomics, ATC, CEES. Founder of PRO FIT Solutions Inc. & ACM 360 PRO

Employee engagement can be the most significant contribution toward establishing a sustainable safety and ergonomic culture. The leadership, education and resources available for employees must emphasize the responsibility each employee has toward their own health and safety. Most of your employees are suffering with some level of discomfort even if they haven’t reported it yet. How you respond when they do will ultimately determine what your employee expectations are and sets in motion the type of Safety and Ergonomic culture you are establishing.



  • Learn how to effectively engage your employees with the “RIGHT” message toward safety and ergonomics

  • Provide your employees the resources that empower them to take personal responsibility for their own health and safety

  • 3 healthy movement postural conditioning exercises that will transform your employee’s perceptions towards ergonomics and safety.

Michael Gee ATC, CEES, Founder / CEO, PRO FIT Ergonomic Solutions & ACM 360 PRO
Session 4: Developing Your Office Ergonomics Toolkit: What’s New?

Hank Austin, MS, CSP, President Ergo Squad - USA

A typical office ergonomist is constantly hit with changing priorities coupled with limited time and resources. Both in-house and consulting ergonomists know that time is money. Office ergonomists spend much of their time completing one-on-one evaluations with an inordinate part of that building reports and coordinating them for approvals.



This session will cover:

  • A new research project with an overview of how to read study reports

  • A quick overview of the key features of the Comfort Zone Office Ergonomics Program Management System with a discussion about Total Evaluation Time and cutting it in half

  • Key ergonomic features of SpaceCo workstations and equipment

Session 5: Q&A Panel Discussion – Bring your questions & challenging issues!

Life’s purpose is the discovery of your Gift, Giving it to others is what gives life meaning.”



Michael Gee, ATC, CEES. Founder of PRO FIT Solutions Inc. & ACM 360 PRO

Mike Gee’s life purpose and what would ultimately turn into his career came at an early age following 2 knee surgeries by the time he was 18 years old. With a diagnosis of arthritis and the recommendation for knee replacement at age 27, Mike made a decision that would ultimately change his entire life and would benefit everyone he worked with in his future.

Mike Gee began his career in Sports Medicine as a Certified Athletic Trainer at the University of New York at Buffalo and continued his pursuit in the allied health field at Health South Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine Clinic in Denver Colorado. Mike attended Fresno State in California as an Athletic Trainer Graduate assistant and through the experience he was gaining early in his career along with his own personal struggles with knee pain, Mike discovered that the approach and methods toward helping others prevent and recover from injury had many limitations. Mike saw a tremendous need to deliver his programs and services to those who suffer from chronic pain and injury, along with providing the most relevant corrective approach towards Injury prevention and recovery.

Mike Gee is a speaker, author and the founder of PRO FIT Ergonomic Solutions and ACM 360 PRO. He is a member of the National Athletic Trainers Association and American Society of Safety Engineers. Mike’s passion for helping others is fueled specifically through his own personal journey in finding the answers to recover from the many injuries he has sustained in his athletic career. His dedication, confidence and certainty come specifically from helping thousands of people recover from chronic pain and remain injury free along with his own personal success stories. Mike has never received a knee replacement and continues a very active lifestyle including mountain biking and weight training and running half marathons.
