Public works and utility employees perform labor-intensive tasks in constantly changing, awkward environments: digging inside narrow trenches, shoveling asphalt off a pick-up truck, or working a 90-lb. paving breaker.

To prevent injury and cumulative physical breakdown, particularly for the back, shoulders and knees, high-risk employees must develop a thorough understanding of the physical demands of their jobs, become professionally aware of their individual body strengths and capabilities, and know instinctively how the body feels when the work is done correctly.

PSR® provides specialized body mechanics safety training for high-risk professions, including firefighting, EMT, EMS, law enforcement, nursing, and public utilities. The program is designed for the actual physical, physiological, and psychological demands of these professions. Unlike traditional training programs, this unique, experience-based training is much more readily accepted and valued by public service personnel. To date, more than 20,000 employees in 100 public entities have been trained.

After completing the licensed training course, clients have experienced significant reductions in many preventable workers’ compensation injuries. For example, a number of medium to large municipal fire departments were able to reduce lost days due to musculoskeletal injuries by 40 percent and reduce the number of lost days due to back injuries by 75 percent.

Training is customized to meet an organization’s real-world needs. Training specialists use career-specific equipment, tools, and situations to recreate realistic circumstances in a controlled environment. Through the hands-on training clinic, employees learn:

This specialized training improves employees’ ability to professionally manage their physical responses in routine and extreme work environments. The goal is to make the safe physical response automatic. This intensive hands-on training program can help public entities reduce workers’ compensation costs as well as injury frequency, severity, and recurrence.

With more than 20 years of highly specialized national experience, Professional Safeguard Resources® (PSR) alone provides this training in work-behavior modification for high-injury/risk public entity employees. PSR uses industry-acclaimed orthopedic and unique time-tested Eastern (Oriental) Physical Sciences in its body-mechanics principles for this career-specific “imprinting” safety training.
