The Backsafe Difference
Our goal is to help carers prioritise their own safety at work so they can provide the best care to their clients and keep safe from musculoskeletal injuries.
We know that to achieve lasting change, along with teaching specific client moving transfers, we also need to instil a deep understanding of how the body works and how an injury occurs so that carers can take this knowledge and apply it to any workplace task.

During this time Peter developed Backsafe which is a proactive injury prevention training program which has now been delivered to tens of thousands of employees in a range of different industries with a range of different job tasks.
Peter has trained carers from the healthcare, aged care and disability sectors so that they become aware of their body position and health implications whether they are caring for adult patients in the home, hospital or healthcare facilities and child and adult clients in residential care and disability facilities.
Peter’s goal is to reduce the incidence and severity of musculoskeletal injuries resulting from manual handling hazards when lifting and moving materials, equipment and transferring people.
