This Workshop focuses on injury prevention for heavy vehicle operators.
After a sustained period of research looking at the Mining, Transport, Infrastructure and Construction industries we identified a need for an increased focus on injury prevention programs for heavy vehicle operators.
This unique approach to injury prevention for heavy vehicle operators focuses on spinal care education relating to posture, fatigue and physical conditioning. Manual handling, the ergonomic layout of truck cabins, and the training in the use of the cabin seats are key areas covered, as is the safe access and egress from the vehicle.
