The term ergonomics may be defined as the applied science of equipment design that is intended to maximize productivity and reduce fatigue and discomfort of the worker on the job. It can also be related to the fields of biotechnology and human factors engineering. So much for the science lesson-however, we can all agree that the products produced from the ergonomics concept, make safety and comfort a top priority.

Most of the injuries on the job are going to occur due to improper lifting-and improper lifting usually finds the back as its target. When your back is injured or thrown out of place, your entire body is off balance. Why not play it smart and embrace smart ergonomics on the job by using the proper back support when lifting. ABC Safety Glasses makes the choices of ergonomics easy with a wide array of back protection styles to choose from. The Allegro All Fit Back Support is high performance, with a 9-1/2 wide belt that offers full support for the mid section. Sizes range from small to large. Other benefits include a vented V-pull and front padded cushions; and the heavy-duty poly construction means it's ready to take the tough assignments. ** Allegro Back Support

The Allegro Body belt Back Support is an attractive variation of the same theme. It comes with medical-style elastic back and side panels that compliment coated steel stays with gripping material. An added feature is the removable and fully adjustable suspenders that are available in four sizes. The design makes the belt easy to put on and just as easy to remove. The belts are also designed to make the muscles in the mid section work-while at the same time protecting them. It's not uncommon for workers to actually harm muscles if they are protected in the wrong way.

The allegro Maxbak Back Support has the weight lifting style and look. It comes with a five- inch back and four-inch front panel and this provides solid ergonomics support no matter what the task. ** Maxbac Back Support In fact, it's safe to say the all the products carried at ABC Safety Glasses are manufactured with ergonomics in mind, with projects ranging from respirators, welding hoods, fist aid supplies, dispensers, safety vests, hearing protection, respirators, work gloves, safety glasses and head protection.

Perhaps there was a time when products were manufactured that had little safety or even the very concept of ergonomics in mind. However, that's not just the case today. There are government rules in place that protect the worker on the job with respect to the safety and the equipment they wear to get the job done. Ergonomics is here to stay and ABC Safety Glasses believes it should stat that way.
