Back injuries account for more than 25% of all work related injuries in the United States. More than 400,000 of these injuries require time off each year. Hold a seminar that calls attention to this issue. At your seminar location, hang up a Laminated Poster from the “Think Before You
Lift!” Meeting Pack. Demonstrate proper lifting techniques and how to push, not pull, a load. Give tips on organizing work space to minimize reaching, and stress the importance of using a chair with adequate back support. Offer further information in the form of “Guide To Safe Lifting” Slideguides and Safe Lifting Reminder Kits, also in the meeting pack.
