More than 1,000 back injuries occur daily and 62% of these injuries are from lifting improperly. It is human nature: the more comfortable any person is doing their job, the less likely that person will take each step consciously. Eventually this easy complacency leads to a painful, expensive injury whereas ongoing attention to proper back safety and training is a cost-effective alternative.

For many employees, back injuries are something that "happens to the other person... not to me." Yet four out of five people will experience some type of back problems during their lives. And many back injuries are caused by common activities experienced both on and off the job... such as lifting, climbing, reaching, etc.

Our extensive line of Back Safety training videos emphasizes the importance of overall back care, both at work and at home, including exercises and weight control. Some of the many topics covered in these videos include:

• How the back works.
• Common types and causes of back injuries.
• Effects of back injuries.
• Injury prevention and safety practices.
• Proper lifting techniques.

Provide your employees with the right training equipment to work safely throughout the day, and give them the ideal mindset by training them to use proper body mechanics to take care of their backs while they take care of their jobs.
