Testimonials from BACK-TRACK Trials:
Coca-Cola Enterprises Ltd
"BACK-TRACK has supported Coca-Cola Enterprises Ltd to quantify an individual's exposure to those risk factors associated with manual
handling. The BACK-TRACK System re-enforces Coca-Cola Enterprises' commitment to behavioural safety and demonstrates how we want to minimise
risk to individuals.
Coca-Cola Enterprises continues on the journey to explore the implementation of BACK-TRACK across the GB function."
Ricky Vallance - Operations Manager
Network Rail
"Network Rail is happy to be working with BACK-TRACK - an innovative solution to an age old problem."
Tom Brenchley - Safety Engineer
Linde Material Handling
"We first trialled BACK-TRACK on a small number of people, and liked the results it produced (a reduction in stooping by 20.5 per cent).
As a result of this, we acquired more units, and use them for a number of reasons other than basic monitoring.
-
In cases where a member of staff has complained of a bad back, we have used the device to monitor the employee's working routine.
Where no problems were detected, the analytical results could, if necessary, be used in our defence should the employee put forward a
claim for compensation.
-
In cases where an employee is returning to work after absence because of back problems, we are able to adjust the threshold and use
the device to monitor and correct the employee's method of work.
-
In cases where the employee is manual handling correctly, but the device is still triggering, has highlighted the need to
adjust the working area.
-
In areas where we have known issues, we can monitor how staff are affected and amend processes accordingly.
Most importantly, the use of BACK-TRACK proves to our staff that we care about their welfare."
Julia Bradley - H & S Advisor
"BACK-TRACK has proved to be a valuable tool in many ways to Serco at the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital - it demonstrated to Serco
staff that the company cares about their health & well being, highlighted areas of concern and prompted appropriate remedial actions and
changed the working practices of even the most sceptical members of staff."
Hilary Woods - H & S Manager
NHS Derriford Hospital
"The development of the product has been remarkable and the result is a simple but demonstrative "package" supported by comprehensive software.
There are more complex posture targeting systems available but this provides a simple tool which can be worn by the worker and gives graphical
evidence of potential risk factors even to those with no or little previous experience of musculoskeletal risk analysis."
