Our Back Safety: Healthcare training course helps healthcare workers prevent back injuries on the job through proper patient handling techniques, safe lifting practices, and good posture habits. Healthcare workers are among the most at-risk groups for workplace back injuries — lifting, transferring, and repositioning patients places significant strain on the back that, without proper technique, can lead to serious injury. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than one million workers suffer a back injury on the job each year, with one in every five workplace injuries being back-related. This 13-minute program is specifically designed for the healthcare setting and emphasizes protecting both the caregiver and the patient. Available in English and Spanish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this course specific to healthcare, or is it the same as the general Back Safety course?

This is a healthcare-specific course. It focuses on the unique back injury risks faced by healthcare workers — including patient lifting, transferring, and repositioning — using clinical scenarios and settings. If you need back safety training for non-healthcare staff such as warehouse or manufacturing employees, see our general Back Safety course.

Is back safety training required by OSHA for healthcare workers?

OSHA does not have a standard dedicated solely to back injury prevention, but back safety training is strongly encouraged under OSHA's General Duty Clause, which requires employers to provide a workplace free from recognized hazards. Given that healthcare workers are among the highest-risk groups for musculoskeletal injuries, back safety training is widely considered a best practice and a compliance expectation.

How often should this training be conducted?

Most healthcare organizations conduct back safety training at the time of hire and annually thereafter. It is also commonly used following a back injury incident as part of a corrective action program, or whenever an employee's role changes to involve more patient handling.

Does this subscription automatically renew?

Yes. This is a prepaid subscription that automatically renews at the end of each term at the then-current price unless canceled. You can view, manage, or cancel your subscription at any time through your account portal.

What's the difference between Streaming, MP4, USB, and DVD?

Streaming gives you instant online access from any device — no download required. MP4 is a one-time download you host on your own platform such as an LMS, file server, or SharePoint. USB and DVD are physical media shipped to you, best for classroom training where internet access is limited or unavailable.

If I purchase the USB, can I copy the video to share with others?

No. The video on the USB is encrypted and licensed to only be played from the USB. It must be inserted in your computer for it to play.

What documentation is provided for compliance recordkeeping?

The kit includes a compliance manual, employee quiz and answer key, completion certificates, wallet/ID cards, an attendance log, a training outline, and safe lifting supplemental documents — everything needed to document that training was completed.

How do I access the Documentation on the DVD?

You will need to access the DVD with a computer so you can browse to the Documentation folder.
