Sittingsafe®

Office Ergonomic Training

“I’ve been having serious upper arm and shoulder pain during the past month and it was getting progressively worse and troublesome.  After taking the Sittingsafe class, I changed up my workstation to a more ergonomically safe position.   Doing this, combined with a week off work, has lessened the pain tremendously. I hope you contract with FIT again. The class was truly very informative and helpful…. I now have hope all the shoulder pain will eventually go away entirely.” – Administrative Services Manager

Why Sittingsafe

The problem

Repetitive stress injuries (RSIs), such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Tendonitis, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, and others, cost North American companies billions of dollars a year! Just one Carpal Tunnel injury can cost a company upwards of $60 thousand. Not to mention the personal pain and life altering effects of these types of injuries. Moreover, what are the hidden costs of employees not yet hurt but feeling fatigue and discomfort from sitting all day?

The cause

Microtrauma accumulated over time insidiously leads to fatigue, discomfort, pain, and for the unlucky, injury. What FIT has discovered is that workers have never learned how to safely conduct activities of daily living, both at work and at home. And more recently, prolonged sitting has come to the forefront as a major contributing factor in the onset of injury and illness!
