How to prepare industry, public space and everyday objects for the needs of an aging society? How to design new production lines, new vehicles, new workplaces so that they are comfortable and safe for older workers? Or maybe for a moment … to enter their position?

Put on a suit that will give us years. It will allow you to feel extra pounds, greater limitations, will not allow you to stand up straight, limit the mobility of the neck, precision of movement, a sense of balance, narrow the field of vision, limit hearing.

Modern companies use an aging suit to design new workplaces and to improve their products, including, for example, manufactured cars. Future nurses try it on to understand what their charges feel. Architects check whether the proposed interior furnishings meet the requirements of elderly people.

Suits are becoming more and more widely used. Since they are now available in Poland, it is worth using them in our companies.

They can be used in the above-mentioned situations, but they are also irreplaceable in making our employees aware of the importance of observing the principles of ergonomics.

What if age-related disability is combined with injuries that we acquired from working incorrectly?

Ergonomics, mentioned during the OHS training, will acquire a new meaning in the eyes of young employees.
