The ASE Miners Vest is already becoming very popular in the mining industry.
The ASE Miners Vest redistributes weight over the entire upper body relieving stress on the lower back muscles and offers support to the lower back.
The ASE Miners Vest may not prevent accidents occurring but if the back is less stressed then surely the incidence or even severity of accidents must be reduced.
If the ASE Miners Vest is worn in conjunction with correct lifting techniques and commonsense precautions, the frequency and degree of back injuries may be reduced, leading to a reduction in the millions of dollars in work time and compensation lost annually.
The ASE Vest was specifically designed for the mining industry.
The ASE Vest is patented both here in Australia and Internationally. (PCT/AU2003/000962
