Hi Guys, Philip English from RoboPhil.com and this video we are having a look at our final thoughts for the FLx Ergoskeleton!
FLx ErgoSkeleton
The FLx ErgoSkeleton is a posture feedback device that provides gentle pressure to reminded you to align your torso so that when lifting a heavy load, you remain in the recommended NIOSH or OSHA lifting posture using your legs, not your back.
The device come in small, medium and large sizes and pads are on devices are adjustable to fit different types of torsos. It weighs about two to three pounds.
FLx ErgoSkeleton Highlights
- Very light and comfortable to wear for long durations
- Very easy to put on and remove
- Provides a sensation of transfer the load from the upper body to the legs and enforce proper lifting techniques.
- User can work for longer with less back strain
I can’t hardly think of any negatives for this device. It does exactly what it says, to help you prevent back injuries and easily flexible to use.
Back injuries in the USA are the #1 source of workplace-related injuries in the USA, resulting in $30 billion in direct costs and $120 billion, if we add indirect costs. (OSHA). Direct costs include medical bills, and the actual costs to treat the injury. Indirect costs include other factors, such as lost productivity.
How much does each risk cost?
5.2% of industrial workers are injured every single year. The average total cost per injury is estimated to be around $60,000.
Who is at risk?
Every single year, the average total cost per injury is estimated to be around $60,000.
Who is at risk?
Of the reported $1.5 million workplace related injuries per year, about half are directly attributed to ergonomic related injuries.
