Back and Shoulder Injuries Unfazed by COVID 19

According to what we have been told, some companies were fortunate to increase their businesses due to higher demand for their products, while others were dramatically and negatively affected.

These opposite conditions created, at times, over-worked employees and conversely employees who were furloughed and much less active. Working longer hours, or more intensely worked normal hours, usually correlates to a higher frequency of injuries. And almost paradoxically not working or experiencing diminished opportunities for exertion can lead to a de-conditioned state which also correlates to higher injury risks, and this is compounded especially when furloughed employees return to work.

Those darn back injuries!! I own a “medical record” of an Egyptian worker dating back 2500 years. Yes, you guessed it—this laborer hurt their back and needed medical attention.

Your employees may not be building pyramids, but performing physical work tasks (and almost always with incorrect biomechanics) can eventually lead to an expensive and painful injury event.

Backsafe (and Sittingsafe® for office personnel) protects employees from ever experiencing those potentially life altering injuries at work and at home.
