Our educational programs help employees work more safely by promoting proper body mechanics, ergonomic techniques and fitness for injury prevention. By using a variety of media, including slides, visual outlines, and even electronic lift alerts, our classes are more than a lecture. Through group interaction, demonstrations, and practice, employees learn in a fun atmosphere and convert to safer ways of working.
Our educational programming is carefully adapted to fit the special needs of each company. For example, if there has been an increase in low back injuries due to the use of new equipment, we will not only teach principles of basic back care, but also actually conduct the class using the new equipment to promote improved carry-over. The following is a list of some of the classes we offer:
