Back Injury
Prevention
Lifting and moving in ways your body wasn't meant to can lead
to painful back injuries. Determine if your ways of sitting,
standing, lifting, pushing and pulling are putting you at a higher
risk for injury or not. Learn to protect your back by using proper
lifting, body posture and moving techniques. Also, learn to keep
yourself safe by stretching and strengthening your muscles, so
you'll be in shape to make the right moves on and off the job.
Our focus is to help address those physical tasks that are points
of concern for supervisors and staff. Don't wait until a "possible"
concern becomes an issue. Be proactive by requesting the assistance
of our department to address the movements, lifts, and posture, used
by you and your staff that may lead to an injury. A typical
in-service lasts approximately 90 minutes, one on one and group
training may last from 15-120 minutes. In resolving physical
challenges the first, most practical and economical step is to
modify behavior (body mechanics), before modifying the environment
(equipment).
