Peak Performance (previously known as Kairos)
Computers are now commonplace in work and education, so computer-related health
and safety is not something that can be ignored.
Lack of knowledge and inattention to healthy computer use can result in serious
health problems so it is important that you enable and encourage healthy practices.
This has just been made easier with Peak Performance. If you have heard people talking
about 'break reminder software', 'exercise break software', 'prevention RSI software'
or 'preventing carpal tunnel' then this is what they mean. Peak Performance is the
responsible solution for helping to manage computer-related health and safety risks
in your workplace.
Protect yourself against avoidable costs
Peak Performance is a comprehensive, user-friendly and effective solution for proactively
managing computer-related health and safety issues. It will help to protect your
staff from health problems brought about by computer use and therefore protect your
organisation from the costs associated with these problems. Lost productivity, ACC
/ insurance premium increases, prosecution / compensation payments, and staff turnover
costs are all costs you can avoid with the use of Peak Performance.
Let Peak Performance tell you where you are at risk
Computer users can be unaware of situations that add to the risk that injury will
develop, or if they are aware they could be unsure of what to do to reduce the risks.
Many health problems associated with computer use are of an ergonomic nature and
the cause can be hard to make out. Peak Performance enables you to identify, monitor,
report on and address hazards and potential hazards associated with computer use.
Design a solution for each user based on their risk
Peak Performance helps you to customise workstation design, monitors how you go
about your work, and also teaches you to recognise early warning signs. Each user
will be trained to optimise the set-up of their workstation, and be guided by the
break reminder software to use micropauses, stretch and exercise breaks, and rest
breaks.
Rely on Peak Performance to expose bad habits
Research suggests that computer-related health problems, such as: repetitive strain
injuries (RSI) or occupational overuse syndrome (OOS) e.g. carpal tunnel syndrome
(CTS) and tendon injuries (tendonitis, tenosynovitis) back problems e.g. Musculoskeletal
injuries (MSI) and work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSD) come from keeping
an immobile load on small muscles for long periods of time without giving them a
chance at recovery. Peak performance reminds you to rest and relieve the load to
prevent muscle exhaustion and subsequent injury. Being able to monitor computer
usage and modify unhealthy computer use habits is an effective tool to managing
computer-related health problems.
Train your way to a healthier work environment
Peak Performance is neither an enforcement tool nor informing tool, but a training
tool to help prevent muscle debilitating conditions like RSI/OOS. The program works
with the user, resulting in proven performance improvements such as reduction in
errors, improvement in reaction time, significantly less discomfort, significantly
less fatigue. These improvements positively contribute to morale, receptiveness
and motivation, and ultimately a healthier work environment.
