Topic: "Before and After Measurements of Ergonomic Successes" PLUS an update on ergonomics in China from Dan's consultation there

Dan MacLeod was one of the early practitioners in workplace ergonomics, dating back to the mid-1970s when he worked for the Health and Safety Department of the United Auto Workers in Detroit. In that capacity, he:

- Instituted the first shop floor ergo projects in the industry

In the 1980s he worked extensively in the meatpacking industry and represented the American Meat Institute in working with OSHA to develop the landmark Meatpacking Ergonomics Guidelines. Dan continues to work with many companies in a wide variety of industries. A current major project is with Lockheed-Martin, helping set up the production lines for the new F-35 stealth fighter in Ft.
