Guide To Back Support Products


It is estimated that around 60% of occupational illnesses are related to injury to the musculoskeletal system, and employers are having to cope with lost working hours every day because of staff back injuries, particularly those sustained in the workplace. It costs millions of pounds to industry each year, and for this reason, it is vital to consider the type of PPE available.

The Ergodyne back support belts are designed to be used for long periods of time and are created from a foam coated in strong nylon. There is a pad designed to give support to the lumbar region. The hook and loop fastening makes it easy to put in place, and there is no need to get a helping hand just to put it on. A mesh version of the belt is available, and this comes with breathable mesh, which is ideal for working in warmer environments.

Once a person has injured their back, recovery can be long and slow. Some people will always suffer from back problems if they have injured their back in the past. This means that they may be limited in the future as to the type of job that they can get. Some people may not be able to return to work at all if the injury is serious. For the employer, this can cause problems with insurance, as if any injury is deemed to be the responsibility of the company, it will have to pay compensation.

This is why any and all safety measures possible should be applied. All manual handling, working at height or maintenance work should have a risk assessment carried out first, and this should indicate if additional PPE will be needed to support back health. If it does, then this type of PPE should be given to workers as standard.
