Back Injury Prevention

Back Injury Prevention Training Videos

Back injuries are among the most common and costly workplace injuries, and most are preventable. While there is no single OSHA standard for back safety, the General Duty Clause requires employers to protect workers from recognized hazards — including the manual material handling that causes so many strains and sprains. Our back injury prevention training videos make it easy to teach safer habits.

These programs cover proper lifting technique, the mechanics of the spine, team lifting, the use of lifting aids and equipment, stretching, and ergonomics that reduce strain during everyday tasks. They benefit anyone who lifts, carries, pushes, or pulls — including warehouse, manufacturing, healthcare, and office staff.

Each back safety kit is available in DVD or USB and in English and Spanish, and includes a training video, presenter’s guide, PowerPoint, quiz, and certificates of completion. Browse the back injury prevention training videos below, or call (800) 859-1870 with questions.
