The purpose of this research program is to develop innovative tools and applications to advance the practice of proactive ergonomics. Equipped with these tools and applications, ergonomists and health and safety professionals will be able to recognize and eliminate workplace hazards that are known to cause injury, before a worker becomes injured. Improved tools to apply proactive ergonomics will help these professionals mend the working environment for working Canadian's, dramatically reducing the number of costly, debilitating work-related injuries. A reduction in work-related injuries is important to ensure the Canadian workforce remains vibrant and sustainable, but also to reduce the financial burden of injury related costs, improving the bottom line for Canadian companies.

这项研究计划的目的是开发创新的工具和应用程序，以推进主动人体工程学的实践。配备了这些工具和应用程序，人体工程学家和健康和安全专业人员将能够在工人受伤之前识别和消除已知的导致伤害的工作场所危险。应用主动人体工程学的改进工具将帮助这些专业人员改善加拿大工作人员的工作环境，显著减少昂贵的、令人衰弱的工伤数量。减少工伤对于确保加拿大劳动力保持活力和可持续发展非常重要，但也可以减少与工伤相关的成本的财务负担，提高加拿大公司的底线。
