Investing in injury prevention saves huge costs in the long term.

Our services include:

	WORKPLACE TASK ANALYSIS: Assessment of your workplace tasks and the way in which they are carried out identifies areas for development with regard to injury prevention standards hence identifying potential hazards as well as meeting audit requirements for proactively maintaining a safe workplace.
	INDIVIDUAL RISK ASSESSMENT: Assessing and providing training for individual staff who have had prior injuries or seen to be at risk of injury will minimise the risk of injury recurrence.
	WORKSTATION ASSESSMENTS: If you or your staff spend more that 1 hour at a time at your desk, you are at risk of overuse type symptoms eg. stiffness, pain, inflammatory syndromes, muscle tension and headaches. An ergonomic assessment of your workstation ensures your office environment matches with your specific physical characteristics and work habits. This individualised assessment gives you all the information you will need to keep you or your staff free from discomfort, pain or injury..
	INJURY PREVENTION SOLUTIONS: For proactive organisations that realise the proven benefits of implementing a comprehensive manual handling programme involving all levels of the organisation, we can lead or advise you in developing a comprehensive manual handling programme to bring about a sustainable injury rate reduction .
	MANUAL HANDLING TRAINING: The Manual Handling course meets the recommendations of the Department of Labour's Manual Handling Code of Practice. The focus is on risk assessment and the application of safe handling principles to your workplace tasks. The course is predominantly practical and interactive to ensure that the techniques are transferable to the workplace.
	SAFE PATIENT HANDLING TRAINING: We offer Safe Patient handling courses for staff that concur with the ACC "LITEN UP" NZ Patient Handling Guidelines. The sessions are predominantly practical and use coaching principles to apply safe handling techniques to all your workplace handling tasks. All our courses are certificated and tailored to the specific handling requirements of your workplace.
	EQUIPMENT ADVICE: Too often investments in equipment are made without regard for their associated impact on the workplace. For that reason some items become "white elephants". Prior to purchasing equipment we can advise you on what kind of equipment you may need, safe use of that equipment, and how to ensure it gets used.
