Back Safety Training Essentials

Back injuries are the nation’s number one workplace safety problem, accounting for one out of every five workplace injuries or illnesses. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than one million workers suffer back injuries each year.

Bad backs are the second most common cause for physician visits and the third ranking reason for surgical procedures in the United States. That’s the bad news. The good news is that when workers have the information and training they need, most back injuries are completely preventable.

The kit contains:

• A complete OSHA compliant training program that includes a discussion guide, handouts and a quiz.
• A refresher program that highlights the most common mistakes that lead to back injuries (also includes support materials).
• Three Safety Toolbox Talks meeting guides covering safe lifting, material handling and working with excessive weights and forces.

Here's a look at what this must-have kit includes:
