The app does not only present the current campaign, but also informs about ergonomic hazards and stress factors in everyday working life, that can have significant impact on the musculoskeletal system. In addition, the app also provides personal protection measures. It takes up the proven (print) media of the BG RCI and refers to regulations and technical rules. Attractive tools make the BG RCI app for the back a useful tool in the workplace. It measures vibration and noise pollution, and provides detailed record sheets e.g. about the manual handling of loads, the assessment of computer workstations or for the classification of indoor climate.
