Massage Table Safety

Video Transcript

"Hi there I'm Sundae with Natural Sundae and I'm going to give you a really important tip about massage table safety and what to look for when you purchase a table. Now there are really a lot of choices and tables out there, there are tons of different manufacturers but the one thing I can say is wherever you buy your table, whoever you buy it from make sure there's a UL listing associated with it. Whether it's on the table itself on the underside or in our paperwork. And I'm going to tell you what this is. UL listing stands for underwriters laboratories. Now underwriter's laboratories is an independent non profit safety product safety certification organization. Now that means that they are an organization that tests over nineteen thousand types of products in ninety nine countries for fire safety, for mechanical hazards for anything that can go wrong, for weight testing. They test it for you. Some tables have it and some tables don't. Now obviously you want to get the table that is tested UL. Whether it be attached to a piece of paper on the underside of your table or whether it's attached to all your paper work when you purchase your table, you really want to make sure that it's got it no matter where it is. And if it doesn't make sure you ask the owner of the massage table store that you are at, and if they don't know call the manufacturer. It's definitely the most important things to consider because you want to make sure that your table is quality and that it's been tested for hazards. God forbid somebody gets on your table and it's not tested they could sue you which brings up liability issues as well which is bad news. And just cost you more money and you might even have to get a lawyer so, making sure that your table is safe, number one can rule out a lot of different problems. A UL listing again means underwriters laboratories. Look them up on the internet. So that's just a little bit of information about table safety and how to pick the right one, and how to make sure that you pick a safe table. I'm Sundae with Natural Sundae and I hope you learned a little bit today. Thanks a lot."
