Registrations now open!
You are warmly invited to attend the New Zealand Ergonomics Society’s Conference NZES2010 on 18th and 19th November 2010 at the Grand Mercure Monaco Apartments in Nelson New Zealand. We have a stimulating programme based around the theme of “Preventing Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders – Present and Future Challenges” with keynote speakers Professor Michael Quinlan from Australia and Professor Tim Bentley from Auckland, New Zealand.
The NZ Ergonomics Society is renowned for its friendly conferences with content that is applicable to many professionals across a wide range of industries. We welcome registrations from ergonomists and other professions that apply or use ergonomics or human factors knowledge. We expect to see conference delegates who are ergonomists, human factors specialists, human resource specialists, occupational therapists, occupational health nurses, physiotherapists, occupational health specialists, psychologists, researchers, managers, injury prevention consultants, health and safety personnel, interior designers, architects and engineers. Note that we have priced the registrations favourably to encourage full-time student attendance.
For this conference we also have a sub-theme of being eco-friendly and having a low environmental impact – this is something Nelson prides itself in. We trust our effort to provide an environmentally conscious event is supported by conference delegates.

ACC Seminar - ‘Computer Guidelines - preventing and managing discomfort, pain and injury’
17th November 2010
ACC is planning a series of free introductory one-day training seminars around the country as part of the launch of the new ‘Computer Guidelines’ document. This publication is a revision of the ‘Approved Code of Practice for the Use of Visual Display Units in the Place of Work’ (ACC/DoL, 1995). The seminar will introduce the key changes and provide relevant information for those wanting to prevent musculoskeletal disorders associated with computer use. Further details about the seminar and how to book are yet to be confirmed. We recommend you combine attending this seminar in Nelson with the NZES Conference over the following days.
