Skills covered in this course
Description
This course explores the structure of the spine, common back injuries, and strategies to reduce strain through administrative and engineering controls. Back injuries are a leading cause of workplace pain and lost productivity, often resulting from improper lifting, repetitive motions, or poor posture. Employees will gain insight into proper body mechanics, safe lifting techniques, and the importance of early injury detection to prevent long-term damage. By implementing ergonomic solutions and effective workplace safety practices, workers can minimize injury risks and maintain spinal health.
