To achieve this mandate, WorkSafeBC educates and consults as well as conducts workplace inspections and investigations. To reduce serious and fatal workplace injuries, the Investigation Division implemented a systematic investigation methodology and integrated Human Factor Specialists to support the investigation process ad outcomes.

By evaluating this interaction and understanding the context of human performance, practices and perspectives can be improved to support and align with principles of human interaction to increase safety and efficiency.

www.prevent-rsi.com	PRSI Software Ergonomic modifications significantly reduce injury and strain. However, injury risk factors such as habitual slouching; localized pressure (leaning, crossing legs, extended sitting); continued, necessary repetitive movements; previous injury and surgery and again are difficult to address with external changes. These require change within the body. PRSI Break, also trademarked “ErgoPartner”, will improve ergonomic program results by delivering Effective Stretching to users. To be effective, stretching must be done head to toe, regularly, slowly and held long enough at the point of resistance to release tension in the connective tissue. Rushing a stretch or stretching too far can cause more injury, not less. PRSI Break reminds users to stretch and demonstrates stretches move by move to ensure proper pacing. Research studies from 2007-2009 confirmed specific PRSI Break benefits – improved range of motion/flexibility and elimination/reduction of neck, upper back and shoulder pain. Improve results by adding PRSI Break to your programs.
