Monitoring device keeps track of backs
February 1st 2008 To assist in the prevention
of back injury in the
workplace, BACK-TRACK has
developed the BACK-TRACK
System which it is launching
at the IOSH exhibition.
A portable monitoring
device which is attached to
an operative's belt, the BACKTRACK
continuously monitors
their posture in relation to
manual handling activities.
The device alerts the
wearer via a vibration alert
when they are stooping or if
they adopt poor posture. At
the end of the shift, the
operative places the BACKTRACK
unit in a recharging
cradle and the recorded data
is uploaded to BACK-TRACK's
server via the internet. More articles from Back-Track Europe Ltd: |
