BACK INJURY PREVENTION
Using incorrect lifting techniques can result in a variety of injuries. The importance of good physical conditioning cannot be overestimated. Back pain and injuries related to lifting and material handling are some of the most frequent types of injuries on the job. While some factors that contribute to the potential for injury cannot be controlled, others can be reduced or minimized. This training session covers many of the causes of back pain and measures that can be taken to prevent it.
Who Should Train?
All appropriate supervisors must receive initial and refresher training to recognize work habits and conditions that could result in back injuries to workers. All employees whose jobs require them routinely lift, push, pull, and carry up to a specified weight category materials or equipment and employees that have jobs with the greatest potential for back injuries.
