Creating Safer Workplaces through Ergonomics and Intentional Movement
MoveSafe® has been helping organizations reduce injuries for over 25 years. Through consultations, courses, training, and ongoing support, we help your organization understand and practice proper posture and movement to minimize discomfort, pain, and injury.
Left unrecognized and uncorrected, high-risk habits in the workplace can lead to discomfort and pain in your employees. This pain leads to higher incidences of injuries, time off-work and lost productivity for your company and reduced quality of life for your employees.
The good news is, injuries like these can often be prevented when you shift your company culture towards healthy body positioning and movement habits. That’s what MoveSafe® provides, a better quality of life for your most important asset, your people.
Proper posture and working conditions help reduce the chance of employee discomfort and injury. Here are the top 3 benefits of implementing an ergonomics and movement program in your organization:

MoveSafe is an exceptional program that is delivered by an equally exceptional team. Our employees were thrilled with the training they received and embraced the program wholeheartedly. The team at MoveSafe went above and beyond to ensure that our program launch was seamless and stress-free. What sets MoveSafe apart is their dedication to providing a personalized and attentive approach that catered to our company’s specific needs. We really felt like the MoveSafe team was there for us every step of the way ensuring the program was a success.
I wanted to reach out to say thank you for both of your time over the last two days. Your presentations were very well put together and engaging. I think everyone who was involved was able to take something home that they may have not known before, including myself. I look forward to working with MoveSafe in the future for our ergonomic needs.
The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority (VFPA) have engaged MoveSafe for over 10 years to provide a range of ergonomic services, including conducting individual computer workstation assessments, provision of training and education, development of resource material such as posters and videos and other ergonomic related support. MoveSafe continues to provide a range of these services for the VFPA on a regular basis.
The MoveSafe program has built upon our already strong safety culture by offering a tangible way that each and every employee can protect and enhance their physical and mental health each day. We have seen a significant downward trend in musculoskeletal injuries since the inception of the program, as well as a noticeable improvement in employee engagement over the years. For most teams, MoveSafe has become a welcomed part of our daily schedule, offering the opportunity to get up and move around, prepare our bodies for whatever tasks lie ahead, and socialize for a few minutes. For office employees, it’s been very effective in managing sedentary positioning and for field employees, it’s been a game changer in ensuring employees understand how they can not only protect themselves from injury, but actually get stronger while performing the physical tasks required of their roles.
I just completed my Move Safe course in Vernon this week and enjoyed it. I believe this kind of information is extremely beneficial in our industry especially as I/we are getting older to maintain ourselves and get stronger rather than beat ourselves up.
I’ve been able to sit in on several MoveSafe training sessions over the past year. As an Athletic Therapist, I appreciate the important and informative content that is covered, but what I really found great was the effort put in to make it relevant and specific to the audience. This, along with Sydney and Dave’s delivery, make for an engaging session that feels more like a discussion rather than a lecture.
I really appreciate your efforts, and I agree fully with all the concepts you teach. There is nothing more that I would love, than to get the culture of everyone here in woodlands to be proactive about preparing yourself physically for the job – office or fieldwork…it’s the root to many of the injuries we see.
My team LOVED the session. They said you made it hugely entertaining and very valuable. I’ve noticed that a few have already made changes to their desks so it worked!
I wanted to pass along my appreciation for your time and presentation. You bring a great message on body movement in work – one that is often overlooked but vitally important to leading a healthy, productive and pain free life. The message is strong but your ease and style of presentation makes the topic so much more engaging … thanks for coming to see us!
Way more effective than past ergonomic training. Learning and seeing from models, the why behind the movements was really effective. Practicing helped a lot too. Very effective and enjoyable/engaging.
