Modules that use scales need one bathroom scale for every two participants. The scales are a powerful part of the learning experience: participants can measure how much stronger they are when using the ergonomic work strategy, or simulate a specific pushing effort. Analog scales work much better than digital scales for most activities, and you can add a set of 8 above.
