What Is This Ergonomics Technology Webinar About?

Overexertion is the leading cause of serious workplace injury in the U.S., costing employers more than $13 billion a year. AI assessment tools, wearable sensors, and exoskeletons all promise to help, and vendors are pitching them hard. The harder question is which of them hold up outside the sales demo.

In this on-demand session, Ed Havey, M.S., CPE, gives a practical, vendor-neutral look at what the research shows, where each tool fits, and how to decide if your organization is ready.

Why Ergonomics Technology Matters in 2026

Overexertion is the leading cause of serious workplace injury in the U.S.
Overexertion injuries cost employers more than $13 billion a year.
AI tools, wearables, and exoskeletons are being pitched to employers more than ever.
Independent research supports some of these tools more than others, and the evidence is still thin in places.
Privacy concerns and low worker buy-in can sink even a well-chosen technology.
Every organization is on its own ergonomics journey, and the right next step is not always a purchase.
