Keeping Police Sitting Safely

2009-01-05 10:21:18

Professional drivers spend long periods of time sitting in their vehicles, which puts them at up to two times greater risk for developing back pain than the general population. For police officers, the issue is compounded by the amount of equipment they wear at all times and the limited space within the vehicle seats. In Ontario alone, an average of approximately $22 million is spent in compensation claims for back injuries amongst police officers each year.
