Importance of Back Safety Training in the Workplace

Back injuries are one of the most common and costly workplace injuries, and most of them come from lifting, twisting and carrying loads the wrong way, or simply doing it too often without a break. Our Back Safety training video covers the situations that lead to back injuries and what employees can do to avoid them, both at work and at home, while Safe Lifting explains how lifting and carrying affect the back and how safe lifting techniques help prevent injury.

Every work setting loads the back differently, so both courses come in versions for construction, industrial, transportation and warehouse, food processing and handling and office environments. Healthcare workers face some of the highest rates of back injury, so we offer Back Safety for Medical Personnel and Patient Handling Safety, which covers the hazards of patient handling tasks and how to prevent injuries while performing them. For desk-related strain and repetitive motion, add our ergonomics safety courses, and see forklift and pallet jack training for moving loads mechanically.

Every back safety and safe lifting video is available in English and Spanish. Assign them through Unlimited Interactive Online Training, demonstrate techniques with Classroom / Trainer Delivery, or order safety DVDs and USBs.
