Step by step we develop better tools

We are developing our ergonomic tools based on scientific studies not made internally by us, but are the result of experiences gathered from users, ergo therapists, physiotherapists, physicians, designers and thorough tests. The system was presented and approved at PREMUS 96, a scientific conference concerning the prevention of industrial strain injuries.

The system provides a detailed description - point by point - of the demands we make before it is ready for launch, bearing our registered ergo symbol.

Did you know that:

  • 47% of all work related health problems are due to strain injuries - and that the figure is constantly increasing?
  • 60% of all industrial accidents are caused by hand tools?
  • 35-40% of all absence from work is due to strain injuries?
  • 30% of all disability diagnoses involve muscle, bone and connective tissue diseases?

These are the official statistics, not to mention the pain and discomfort the victims suffer.
