These interactive programs help employees understand the design of their workstation and the steps that can be taken to minimize muscle stress and strain. It has also been shown that involving employees in decisions affecting them empowers workers to take more effective control of their health as it relates to onsite performance.
Lifting Workshop
For occupations involving repetitive lifting and material transfer, we provide workshops to identify problem areas, and then work with your employees to find ways to minimize risk of injury. In most cases the solutions arrived at by the workers allow them to perform the task not only more safely, but also more efficiently.
