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.
