Workers in manufacturing environments face a higher risk of injury, particularly musculoskeletal disorders, due to the repetitive and physically demanding tasks common in the industry. As organizations continue to prioritize workplace safety, new technologies are creating opportunities to better identify risks and support safer work practices.
This session explores how artificial intelligence can enhance ergonomics programs and help mitigate workplace risks. Attendees will learn how a AI tool has helped Linamar to transform complex ergonomic standards into accessible, real-time guidance for teams on the shop floor.
Guest speaker Melissa Gould, Global Vice President of Environmental Health & Safety at Linamar Corporation, Linamar Structures Group & Corporate, will share how Linamar has leveraged AI technology to improve workplace safety. Melissa will discuss the development of a custom-built AI assistant that converts extensive ergonomic guidelines into instant, job-specific recommendations for supervisors, engineers, and safety professionals—making ergonomics expertise available at the moment it’s needed most.
