Back Safety CD-ROM

For many employees, back injuries are something that "happens to the other person... not to me." Yet four out of five people will experience some type of back problems during their lives. And many back injuries are caused by common activities experienced both on and off the job... such as lifting, climbing, reaching, etc.

MARCOM's training products on "Back Safety" emphasize the importance of overall back care, both at work and at home, including exercises and weight control. Topics covered in these products include:

• How the back works.
• Common types and causes of back injuries.
• Effects of back injuries.
• Injury prevention and safety practices.
• Proper lifting techniques.
• and more.

Each interactive course is about 30-45 minutes long depending on the topic. Courses are divided into a number of logical sections, each with its own quiz, so information is easily understood... and retained.

Also designed with training managers in mind, courses in the Interactive CD-ROM Training Library include a learning management system (LMS) at no additional cost. Using this system, trainers can define curricula... establish log-in procedures... even set up "pre" and "post" tests. The system also tracks employee activity through a powerful relational database, which can generate a number of informative reports. A database import/export feature also allows information to be transferred to and from databases in other software packages, such as a company's human resource system.

MARCOM's interactive CD-ROM courses and learning management system can be run on standalone computers as well as "hard-wired" local and wide area networks (LANs and WANs).
