The Backsafe® and Sittingsafe® injury prevention training programs have helped organizations throughout North America for over 30 years to prevent workers’ comp costs and lost workdays attributable to sprain/strain injuries.  We have accomplished magnificent reductions in these painful and costly injuries by creating a proprietary employee training methodology. One of our core philosophies is that to reduce work-related injuries one must incorporate solutions for at-home activities as well. We have always promoted “back injury prevention” as not JUST a Safety or Workers’ Comp Reduction initiative but also a “wellness” initiative to prevent these horrible injury events.

We are pleased to announce that we have augmented our on-site and in-person training Backsafe and Sittingsafe workshops with eBacksafe Virtual Injury Prevention Training for certain industries. Additionally, we have created the eBacksafe for At-Home training class to help employees AND their family members.  This 30-minute workshop teaches people things that we all should have learned years ago but never did. We have proven that most back pain is unnecessary and preventable. Almost 100% of the people on this planet know more about their vehicles than they do their backs. That is a fact!! This at-home training shares vital instruction from our Corporate and industrial in-person Backsafe training, and avails it to living rooms anywhere in the world.
