Back pain is one of the most common health problems at the workplace. In addition to the employee suffering from physical discomfort, the employer, too, feels the consequences resulting from declining work effi ciency or even the employee’s incapacity to work. Ergonomic products are one of the key factors when it comes to preventing and treating back pains. The AGR (Aktion Gesunder Rücken e. V., www.agr-ev.de) quality label is an important decision-making aid when purchasing back-friendly products. An independent testing body consisting of medical and therapeutic experts specialising in different fi elds assesses the extent to which the tested objects release stress from the spine and support the human locomotor system. Only products meeting the strict test criteria are awarded the AGR quality label – such as the Scrubmaster B75 R, B120 R, B175 R and the new B260 R.
