Save - A - Back

Event Location & Address: Holiday Inn
Portugal Road
St.John's, NL

Hosting Organization: Weatherford

Event Description: Back injuries are a problem in the workplace and in researching how to reduce back injuries, we discovered a company called Save a Back. This company has drastically reduced the back injury problem in every company they have educated. The Save A Back program presentation will be significantly different; it will educate you on how to prevent back injuries, get rid of those “achy backs” and how to deal with serious back injury – the program is meant to help make a difference for you, your family and your organization. A very worthwhile event and even a little “entertaining”!
