Backsafe and Mindsafe are two different training programs that focus on different aspects of workplace safety. Backsafe manual handling training is designed to teach employees how to use their body correctly and safely by employing best practice manual handling techniques to reduce the risk of injury in the workplace. Mindsafe is a proactive training program that focuses on mental health and well-being in the workplace reducing stress related injuries.
While both programs can help slash workers’ compensation costs, they do so in different ways. Backsafe manual handling training can help reduce workers’ compensation costs by reducing the risk of musculoskeletal (MSD) and soft tissue injury in the workplace. Mindsafe reduces workers’ compensation costs by improving employee mental health and well-being, which can lead to fewer absences and improved, even wholehearted involvement in the production process.
We can deliver these programs separately or as an integrated approach to address both of these important and costly workplace issues.
