Seated Posture & Injury Prevention

Seated posture & injury prevention training has been developed to complement and add to the effectiveness of DSE assessment programmes.  There can be a tendancy for DSE Assessment to be a 'tick-box' exercise without employees gaining a real understanding of what causes injuries and how they can be prevented.  Typical examples may include incorrect use of equipment such as arm and wrist wrests, chair positioning and static postures.  The course will give each employee the knowledge to self risk assess daily to ensure they optimise their posture for comfort and injury prevention. 

Bespoke courses are also available for specific seated roles such as 'Postural Guidance for Musicians and teachers'

Shop Floor Posture & Injury Prevention

Shop Floor Posture and Injury Prevention (Manufacturing) has been developed to complement shop-floor Ergonomic Assessment and Production Line Postural Assessment. Many shop floor tasks include repetitive movements, static postures and prolonged awkward postures all of which increase the risk of injury. 

The course educates employees about basic anatomy, common causes of injury in the production line environment and offers guidance on 'in-work' exercises and stretches as well as application of good posture.
