The purpose of our back school is to promote the following goals
at your workplace:
Promoting proper body
mechanics for lifting, typing, and other repetitive motion jobs.
Educating your workers
on proper techniques for reducing fatigue in the workplace.*
Increasing the health
and safety of your workers and decreasing workers compensation
