ABSTRACT

November 1998 saw the Society organize and host its first ever National Conference, which was an overwhelming success due to the efforts of the conference organizing sub-committee. Over 120 delegates from industry, the public sector, and a number of NGOs attended the one-day event, which focused largely on the topics of immediate concern to the workplace: the law in relation to ergonomics; manual handling; industrial interventions and training schemes; and modern office environments.
