What you'll learn
Apply ergonomic principles to adjust the driving environment (seat, mirrors, controls) and maintain neutral posture during long-haul operations.
Demonstrate proper body mechanics when lifting, lowering, and securing cargo using the legs rather than the back and keeping loads close to the body.
Identify early warning signs of musculoskeletal strain, including muscle stiffness, tingling, reduced flexibility, fatigue, and nerve compression.
Analyze how the spine and musculoskeletal system function, and explain how improper lifting techniques can lead to disc herniations, muscle strains, and spinal misalignment.
Interpret and comply with FMCSA and OSHA ergonomic and safe lifting standards, and appropriately report injuries and near-misses through established workplace protocols.
