Since 2024, at Lacor Textil, we have reaffirmed our commitment to the safety and well-being of our workers through the “Healthy ErgonomIA” Chair, created in collaboration with San Jorge University. This pioneering project seeks to prevent musculoskeletal disorders in the textile industry by combining research, training, and advanced technology.
Project Milestones and Objectives
The chair focuses on developing multidimensional research to identify and reduce musculoskeletal risks within our work environment. We have the support of four renowned research groups—ValorA, UNLOC, iPhysio, and Motus—and we promote the predoctoral training of researchers completing their PhDs within the chair.
Since its inception, we have implemented innovative methodologies such as:
- Motion sensor analysis: Studying the daily activity of our workers to detect repetitive and potentially harmful movements.
- Comprehensive factor evaluation: Analyzing physical, psychosocial, biomechanical, and organizational factors that may affect musculoskeletal health.
- Use of digital tools and advanced technology: Such as the RehBody app and state-of-the-art biomechanics laboratories.
Currently, the project is moving forward with an 8-week physical exercise and health education program, where the chair’s team conducts weekly workshops at our facilities covering ergonomics, exercise, and nutrition.
A PROJECT THAT GOES BEYOND RESEARCH
The chair also promotes the exchange of knowledge through courses, seminars, and conferences, and collaborates on advisory projects to improve occupational safety.
Beyond learning, our goal is to enhance the quality of life for our workers and anyone performing similar roles. By analyzing postures, movements, and work shifts, we aim to design environments and practices that prevent injuries and promote health.
At Lacor Textil, we encourage all our teams to participate and take advantage of these initiatives, which not only protect your health but also strengthen our culture of prevention and well-being.
Your health matters. Your safety matters. And at Lacor Textil, we continue working every day to protect them.
