Ergonomics: Be a Part of Your Health

San Francisco Dental Hygiene Society along with Occupational Health Branch of the California Department of Public Health & UC Berkeley Ergonomic are working together to help prevent and alleviate musculoskeletal injuries for dental hygieneist.   Why are we doing this? CDPH has identified dental hygienists as reporting higher cases of workers compensation and want to help our profession stay healthy.    CDPH wants to work with local RDHs as advisors to develop a useful message, CE courses and short videos.    CDPH has an occupational health doctor, data folks, and a health educator, working on this project.   UC Berkeley has an occupational health doctor, an ergonomist, and an engineer.   San Francisco has amazing RDH that want the best for ourselves, each other and our profession.   I have a few more spots for RDH to get on this advisory board. It's our stories, our knowledge of the profession and our physical health concerns that will move our profession forward to ensure long, healthy careers.   Join us on Tueday April 30, 2013 from 6:30-8:30pm at a Union Square location to be a part of this collaborative opportunity.   Contract Michael Long, RDH at sfbayareardh@gmail.com for complete location detail.
