Here
are a few comments from SAVE A BACK clients: |
| We were so pleased with the classes that SAVE A BACK did for us in 2004 that we are now scheduling classes for 2008. Many of the employees have stated that they are excited about the education they received from SAVE A BACK. |
 District
Superintendent, Duncan, OK |
| SAVE A BACK is the single most well received educational program our employees have ever had. "It has changed our employees behavior and awareness". We have personally gone through 1,200 out 3,500 employee program evaluation forms and no one had a negative comment. |
| Corporate
Health, Safety and Environmental Manager, Houston, TX |
The whole course was very educational and taught very well. Knowledgable instructor. Learning some excercises that were simple and everyday practical. I thought this would be a joke - but I found it to be educational and practical. Useful for everyday work. Thank you. A division of a major manufacturer conducted a survey of SAVE A BACK clients and found that all of the companies they spoke with reported at least a 60% reduction in worker's compensation costs. Some had a savings as high as 90%. |
| General Electric |
| "Very good to have a physical therapist, much more believable and helpful than just an instructor with no medical training." |
| Electronics Employee |
| "We spent an average $170,000 per year on back injuries over a three year period. After SAVE A BACK it was reduced to $18,000 and we cut our lost work days by 85%." |
| A Southwestern Utility Company |
| "The response was tremendous! This came from guys who aren't used to sitting around for four hours. There was a lot of skepticism and some of them said they really didn't want to be here, but after the classes they said they were sure glad they came." |
| 2 years later.... |
| "Our drivers asked us to bring SAVE A BACK back for refresher training. Over two years we have cut our back injuries and costs by 50 percent plus. This is a program where we have really seen a return on our investment." |
| Fleet Safety Manager, Topeka, KS |
| "SAVE A BACK is the best program for the training of personal body mechanics." |
| Natural Gas Operations |
| "The most worthwhile program I have ever been to! This was great! Why haven't we had this sooner?" |
| Smelter Employee, WA |
| "In one year lifting injuries fell 62%, total body mechanic incidents dropped 92%, with 72% direct cost savings." |
| Loss Control Manager |
| "I have never before had anyone say anything positive after the fact about any training we have done. Everyone loved the SAVE A BACK class. Everyone had positive things to say." |
| Yale Central Power Plant, New Haven, CT |
| "The material was thorough and comprehensive, clear and concise. It was a refreshing way to spend four hours, a presentation that leaves a strong impression." |
| Kraft Foods, New York, NY |
| "I wish I'd seen this class before I had hurt my back and had to have two surgeries. The outlook you come away with is really a cultural change in thinking about your back and neck. We know more, we can do more and we can see positive results." |
| Location Manager, major international elevator company |
| "I've been through other back programs before. This is the best I've ever seen. Your instructor was just a 'ball of fire'. We were extremely pleased with the response." |
| Corporate Safety Manager, Alabama Gas Co., Montgomery, AL |

| Line Mechanics in Columbus, Ohio |
"I attended the class several weeks ago and found it incredibly helpful. I have dramatically improved my posture and cut down on the frequent neck pain that I have been experiencing. This is a very good class, and teaches much more than lifting techniques. I strongly feel that anyone that has a neck or back should attend this class." Employee, BES, Mt Hood, WA |
I’ve used SAVE A BACK for 20 years. Over that time I’ve used a number of excellent safety programs for various purposes. None has ever had the positive impact that SAVE A BACK has had. I still have the charts to prove it. EHS Manager, ExxonMobil Chemical |
