What our sensors tell us about
Parcel/Letter Sorting​
When sorting letters or parcels, it is important to always keep a straight back and utilise the bigger muscle groups in the legs.
A lot of the sorting will be waist high however, when reaching down to the lower shelves, make sure to follow optimal manual handling techniques to keep yourself fit and healthy!​
- Straight legs
- Lower back flexion
- Shoulders slouched forwards
- Bent legs
- Straight back

EMP Sensor Observations
Sensor observations are a highly accurate and objective way of measuring risk during manual handling tasks. By using the correct movement you will help reduce stress and strain on your back, shoulders and neck.
Task Risk Scale
With sensor observations, we measure relative task risk.
