Ricky Vallance - Operations Manager

Network Rail is happy to be working with BACK-TRACK - an innovative solution to an age old problem.

Tom Brenchley - Safety Engineer

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

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.

Val Noble - Ergonomics Advisor

For most of my professional life I have been involved in postural analysis, risk assessment and training to help combat the bane that is back injury. Much has been done by academics and researchers to develop understanding of the issues that lie behind back problems, but at the sharp end, the practitioner like me has always struggled to capture meaningful data about movement and its effect on discomfort and injury. I am, therefore, excited about the launch of the BACK-TRACK product because it should allow me to pinpoint causal factors, whether they are at peak times in a shift, particular activities, the consequence of specific workplace design or even poor practice by the individual.

Feedback from users following a successful trial:

• "BACK-TRACK did help highlight problems with posture"
• "I think it could be very good as a training aid"
• "Now that the trial is over, I will probably go back to lifting the way that I feel is most comfortable"
• "I thought the BACK-TRACK device was good at making you correct your stance as when it vibrated, I felt it was an automatic reaction to straighten your back which stopped the vibration"
• "I found the BACK-TRACK useful in the way it helped me keep my posture"
• "It would also save companies an awful lot of money in sickness and compensation"

Feedback from users during a trial at The Paper Company:

• "It's modified my behaviour when picking things up"
• "It modifies how I do things once it vibrates and reminds me"
• "Makes me think when I lift things out of the van"
