Resource Development
“Be your own ergonomist”
Our philosophy in any occupational education or training package is to develop ongoing development in staff and employers. To accomplish this we develop resources to accompany any training undertaken, so that the education continues in our absence.
The type of resources we use are selected to best suit the specific population. Some of these resources include:
- CD Roms
- Touch screen interactives
- Posters and manuals
- Industry specific resource packages
Touch Screen Interactives
Fasttrak develops customized touch screen interactives that can be set up in the work place. At the tip of your finger, you can find a stretch or exercise to relieve muscle tension and invigorate your body.
We have set up several “Regeneration Stations” for companies in Australia. This will usually include a touch screen interactive, and a floor space of approximately 3 x 3 metres.
