Tips on Technique_Ergonomics at the Lab Bench Video from thescientistllc on Vimeo.

Repetitive laboratory tasks cause numerous shoulder, forearm, wrist, and hand injuries. Research has shown that pipetting just 1.3 hours per day elevates the risk of these upper limb symptoms. In this webinar, brought to you by The Scientist and Thermo Fisher Scientific, our panel of experts will discuss injuries common in the lab and provide tips and tricks for avoiding them.

Topics to be covered:

• Optimized worker performance at the bench and hood
• Good laboratory pipetting ergonomics
