Autorenporträt

Dr Céline McKeown is the senior consultant with and director of Link Ergonomics. She specialises in work-related injury, particularly upper limb disorders and manual handling injuries. She works in heavy and light industry and in commercial organisations. Although she offers advice on dealing with working conditions that are already functioning, she also works alongside designers, engineers and architects who are starting with a blank slate and assists them in generating workplaces that suit the people who are employed there. She also runs training courses for engineers and health and safety professionals on ergonomics, manual handling, upper limb disorders and disability. She is a regular writer and speaker on ergonomics in the workplace and is a reviewer of academic ergonomic textbooks. She also acts as an expert witness in cases of work-related injury throughout the UK and Ireland.
