PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND

The experience I have acquired since entering the profession is widely varied. This is reflected by the interventions I have conducted in many different sectors of activity, including the industrial sector (processing, manufacturing, etc.) and the service sector (hospitals, government services). 

In response to client needs, I offer an extensive range of prevention services: workplace ergonomics analyses, occupational injury case management, overall evaluation of workstation and workplace safety, training of engineering teams and occupational health and safety teams, etc.

I have also conducted research for the Institut de recherche Robert Sauvé en santé et sécurité du travail (IRSST) on musculoskeletal disorders associated with the use of a computer mouse, the report of which is available (in French only) on the Internet at the following address:  http://www.irsst.qc.ca/htmfr/catalogue/desc475.htm

I have taken part in workplace design projects requiring a comprehensive understanding of the administrative processes involved, the tasks to be carried out, technological issues and issues associated with the safety of the personnel, clients and equipment. Exhaustive analyses thus had to be conducted, based on data collected through interviews with the company's workers and management, through observations of actual workplace situations, and workshops with representatives from diverse sectors, etc.

Possessing extensive experience in training, I have developed and given numerous training sessions, the durations of which vary from 1 to 60 hours. 

CLIENTELE

I have clients in the majority of the regions of Québec (North Shore, Estrie, Montérégie, Montréal, Québec City, Lower St. Lawrence, etc.) as well as across Canada (Ottawa, Toronto, Halifax, Edmonton) and United States.
