All 31 Pristine Manual Handling Trackers carried out correctly in 2014. We carried out 95 Pristine Manual Handling Trackers and 90 were carried out correctly.

The sentence is from a company's safety briefing. I cannot get what they mean by the "trackers".

The company name is not an issue Pristine provides training in the area of manual handling, as do many other companies. None mentions "the trackers".

you need to block out the company's name; easy to find on Google

"Traca" a tool used for training in manual handling

http://pristinecondition.com/testimonials/

Pristine Condition provide continued back up and support. The processes they have helped to put in place ensure that the investment is continued. The staff have carried on using the correct techniques, constantly being coached and corrected using their TRACA tool. In addition they have provided consultancy on ergonomic issues, accident investigations, additional DVD footage for hearing impaired, and their response to issues has been provided at no or minimal cost.


sing TRACA effectively has also been instrumental in the programme’s success, with this tool providing a vital monitoring link to ensure that the correct techniques are adhered to long after the training has been delivered.

But it’s the simplicity of TRACA which is key and, because it’s incredibly easy to understand, our staff are more inclined to use it properly.

I found this in the testimonial section of the company's site.

so it should be "Traca" it seems not "Tracker". It would seem this means that the tool is being monitored to make sure it is being used properly and training is successful and ongoing...

another thought,; maybe the company calls the training programme using the Traca "trackers" so they have done an audit or monitoring operation and discovered that

"All 31 Pristine Manual Handling Tracker ( programmes using "Traca") were carried out correctly in 2014. We carried out 95 Pristine Manual Handling Tracker (programmes) and 90 were carried out correctly.
