How can you prevent back injuries?
The best prevention starts with awareness and proper technique, which are key components of back injury prevention training. Keep your core strong, lift with your legs (not your back) & use tools or get help when loads are heavy or awkward.
How to train for injury prevention?
Injuries can be prevented by practicing safe lifting techniques, staying active, and doing strength and flexibility exercises. Using proper ergonomics at work is helpful in the long term.
What is the correct lifting technique to avoid back injuries?
Keep your back straight, bend at the knees, keep the load close to your body, and lift using your legs, not your back.
What PPE is needed to prevent back injury?
Braces, supportive belts, and lifting aids are effective PPE that reduces the risk of injury. But the importance of proper lifting technique and ergonomic design should also not be ignored.
