Back Safety for Healthcare Employee Training Booklets (pkg of 10)

$15.00

This booklet provides awareness of back injuries and protective work practices in healthcare.

Description

We tend to take our backs for granted until we are in pain! Statistics show that such strains are the most common among workers. Back problems are costly. This includes taking off precious work time. Medical experts say that back injuries have little to do with the weight of the lifted objects and everything to do with how they are lifted. Moreover, though lifting, placing, carrying, holding and lowering are involved in manual materials handling (the principal cause of compensable work injuries) the BLS survey shows that four out of five of these injuries were to the lower back, and that three out of four occurred while the employee was lifting.

This 16-page booklet is an excellent resource to complement our training course, and addresses the following areas:

  • Structure of the back
  • Common back problems
  • Proper lifting techniques
  • Proper posture
  • Maintaining a healthy back
