Overall the course fulfilled the objectives and criteria in a relaxed, non-threatening environment. This is the most practical, fun, no-nonsense back program I have seen. Well worth the cost.

Your BACKSAFETM course is being received extremely well here on the Olympics 2000 site at Homebush. The feedback from all participants is all positive... except that they all seem to ask why we did not have it years ago!

Each participant agreed that the course was excellent and may have prevented their own injuries. This course MUST be attended by all drivers and constantly reinforced. It will pay for itself very quickly.

In my opinion, the course has done enough to make people think and change their ways on how to treat their backs.

The result of the course was an increase in total awareness of all involved regarding spinal care and lifting techniques... future sub-contractor selection and induction should be based around their ability to demonstrate they have an active back program in place.

In my (30) thirty years of experience within a managerial position I have never come across a training program presented to the excellence of your BacksafeTM Prorgam. ….It is also good to know that the employees will not only practise BacksafeTM at work but take this program home to their families from your course booklets.

“In my observation your instructor has a very easy and professional way of getting things across. His explanation and demonstrations are easy to follow and his approach to people seems to make them take notice and become more involved.”

“Following the BacksafeTM training package you conducted on our project the response during and after the program by managers and workers was more than encouraging.” “…..900 employees participated in the training that was followed by a marked improvement in individual behaviour and on-site manual handling practises.”

“I believe the time you spent with us this morning will help us reduce the risk of injuries in our workforce and make this an even better place to work.” You kept us interested and involved at all times and we would like to let you know that this session was one of the best training courses that we have attended.”

"In the past, I have experienced difficulties in finding suitable safety related training for office based staff. The BacksafeTM course you provided really hit the mark, offering the right balance between specific work related safety messages and the more general safety messages that apply to daily life. The delivery of your course was friendly and positive, while making sure that the important messages were not lost."

"Because the course was tailored to the three sections of our business being  office, warehouse and Sales Representatives, all information presented was relevant to each persons day to day duties. It is very obvious to us that all staff are much more aware of the need to follow correct lifting procedures, which proves the success of the course."

"This year we targeted not just general back safety but also the issues that our Drivers gave as feedback from the previous year and BacksafeTM tailored a package to suit our needs. We also looked at some of our injuries that have occurred to staff while performing their duties and catered for exercises and stretches for staff to do while at work."

“In my opinion, this was the best course in relation to manual lifting. It was very, very informative from the medical point of view and in relation to the safety for the workers in all fields. I have been in service for Rail Services Australia for 45 years.”
