input is needed and valued. Currently participate virtually with the GeLness
team, which has a focus on Health and Wellness, and the SHE Core Team
which focuses on safety and health issues that may affect the different work
areas. Prior to COVID, participated in Tier 1 meetings (change of shift) for
of events, illnesses, or injuries occurring over night and to share information
related to upcoming SHE or clinic events. Ergonomics is a growing area of
interest and need at the facility and have collaborated with other SHE
professionals and an ergonomist to develop an ergonomic program here. Have
obtained computer based ergonomic training. Maintain all records related to
