Roughly a third of this cost can be attributed to potentially preventable manual material handling injuries. Industrial exoskeletons have potential to help reduce injury risk for certain types of work, but they are very new and the evidence supporting them is limited. Briotix has tested four different types of industrial exoskeletons on real workers performing their actual jobs by using wearable sensor technology. Hear the results of those tests and the implications for injury reduction and prevention. - Identify at least three different types of industrial exoskeletons and their potential applications - Understand the acute impacts of these different types of industrial exoskeletons on new users - Know the three critical factors to evaluate when testing exoskeletons on workers   #### **Thursday, August 23, 2018: 8:15 AM - 9:15 AM ** #### **Supporting Injury Prevention for Drivers: Tools, Methods and Solutions** ##### [Julie Landis DPT, CEES, CEAS](http://s23.a2zinc.net/clients/lrp/ergoexpo2018/Public/SessionDetails.aspx?FromPage=Speakers.aspx&SessionID=2972&nav=true&Role=U%27#) ###### Vice President of Business Development ##### [Scott Smith CPE](http://s23.a2zinc.net/clients/lrp/ergoexpo2018/Public/SessionDetails.aspx?FromPage=Speakers.aspx&SessionID=2972&nav=true&Role=U%27#) ###### Casualty Risk Consulting Ergonomics Team Leader ###### Aon Global Risk Consulting Drivers present unique challenges when it comes to providing effective ergonomic and safety solutions.
