Back Safety – Sitting and Lifting

This course emphasizes how everyday actions such as sitting, standing, walking, and lifting place strain on your back. These routine tasks, often performed on autopilot, can lead to injuries due to poor technique and speed. Most workplace back injuries stem from common tasks like sitting and moving items. The key to avoiding injury is being diligent about using proper form, even for the smallest actions. The speaker introduces the “Back Safety 102: Sitting and Lifting” course, which will focus on how sitting affects the back, lifting while in pain, the importance of posture and health, and proper lifting techniques.
