Research has indicated that traditional approaches to safety training (including manual handling training) are ineffective at changing worker behaviour and reducing injury risks. However, the Sports Science model of using wearable technology and data analysis to identify injury risks, then providing individualised training and feedback has been proven to effectively change behaviour and reduce injury risks.
In this session, we’ll review the research and methods behind successful sports-based injury prevention programs, and demonstrate how the same methods can be used to protect workers from injury in a cost-effective and sustainable way. We’ll also explore the use of data analysis and smartphone technology to:
