Training of instructors: a successful strategy for your company - The case of the Fire Safety Service of the City of Blainville

Following several back injuries during manual load handling in the fire station, the Fire Safety Service of the City of Blainville called on a firm of consultants in ergonomics to help it implement the best training practices in manual handling. Since the introduction of instructor training internally, no back injury attributed to manual load handling has occurred.
