Retirement Trust Foundation Update:
THANK YOU IAAP for your donations to the RTF for the past 50 years!  Thanks to you, your chapter and division, we have built a healthy treasury.  It all began in 1958 when Della Herring had a dream for a retirement center for us and donated the first dollar.  Della’s dream became our dream and you made it come true with Vista Grande.  Now in addition to Vista Grande, we have the HSAN program (Housing Subsidy for Admins in Need). HSAN provides financial assistance toward housing costs for any retired administrative professional living in a retirement community and meeting the housing assistance criteria.

 

This year, instead of fundraising, we have a different request.  Instead of raising money, we are asking you to help us give it away!  We need your help to raise awareness of the HSAN program and increase grant applications.  Go to www.iaap-rtf.org for more information.

"Risk Management and Ergonomics In The Workplace"
by Clayton S. Shoup, CIH, CSP, Zurich NA

Risk management is practiced in every business whether or not a formal risk management program is in place. In broad terms, risk management is the assessment of the variety of risks that a business may face followed by efforts to identify and take steps to minimize those risks so they will not present a significant impact.  This presentation will review the principles of risk management, the steps businesses take to address risks and discuss many of the types of risks that businesses prepare for today.

Next, we’ll delve further into one aspect of risk management, ergonomics. Ergonomics is an important, yet frequently under emphasized part of many risk management programs. This is particularly notable when you consider that strain injuries from manual material handling, awkward postures and repetitive motions represent one of the most frequent causes of occupational and non-occupational injuries.
