BACKSAFE and SITTINGSAFE - An injury prevention program designed to help reduce injuries on and off the job. It is an activity based program designed to train up to 20 people at a time. The BACKSAFE and SITTINGSAFE program consists of workshops that are designed to break bad habits that can lead to costly injuries. Each workshop is specifically adapted to the job tasks of the employees attending the workshop.
BACKSAFE is a customized on-site injury prevention program and training technology that prevents injuries to workers of all job descriptions and thereby greatly reduces workers’ compensation costs. Through practical and interactive instruction by certified consultants, employees are taught the proper biomechanical way to carry out their everyday work tasks. The resulting knowledge and its application eliminate the main cause of work related injuries - the daily improper use of the body.
SITTINGSAFE program unlocks the mysteries of and provides solutions to repetitive motions injuries in the office; a problem that costs North American businesses billions of dollars each year. SITTINGSAFE clearly shows how the proper use of the body, therapeutic stretches and correct adjustments of office furniture, equipment and work surfaces prevent repetitive motion injuries. Through a carefully executed, tailor-made training program, SITTINGSAFE consultants help your employees stay healthy, productive and on the job.
BACKSAFE and SITTINGSAFE has proven effective in reducing cumulative trauma disorders such as back injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc. Classes consist of a lecture, video, stretches, and an obstacle course of job specific moves. Training has resulted in reduced on-the-job injuries, lost time, increased productivity and employee moral and decreased workers’ compensation costs.
