14 Mar Getting Back to Back Safety

Back safety is not a topic anyone should take lightly. A back injury can be extremely painful, take a long time to heal, and have affects on your entire body and lifestyle.

Furthermore, once you experience a back injury you become much more susceptible to receiving additional back injuries in the future.

Unfortunately, with the back being so vital in daily activities and vulnerable to strain, back injuries are very common.

Based on recent data accrued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics:

• One in every five workplace injuries/illnesses is related to the back.
• Over a million workers experience back injuries every year.
• Approximately 25% of workplace compensation claims involve back injuries.

Between the pain and suffering that back injuries could cause an employee, and the potential money in claims and time off that they could cause an employer, it becomes obvious that proper back safety should be taken seriously.

In order to prevent the damage of a back injury, it is imperative that you and your employees learn the techniques of proper back safety.
