NEENAH, Wis. — Over 200,000 back injuries are reported every year, accounting for one of every five injuries in the workplace. Companies can help employees avoid becoming part of this statistic by using the J. J. Keller & Associates Inc.® program, “Back Safety: Keep Your Back In Action.”
The program goes beyond basic back safety awareness and lifting. It covers the structure of the back, along with causes of back pain and injuries, and represents industrial, trucking, construction and office environments with real-world scenarios that demonstrate routine tasks common in most industries that can lead to back injury if done incorrectly.
The program explains important preventative measures and proper techniques employees can incorporate when performing everyday tasks such as lifting, pushing, climbing, sitting, standing, twisting, reaching and overreaching, along with the proper techniques for those tasks.
