Every time you bend over, lift a heavy object, or sit leaning forward, you put stress on the components of your back and spine. Over time, they can start to wear out and become damaged. Acute or immediate injuries to the back can be caused by tearing or straining ligaments and muscles. The best way to prevent back injuries is to develop habits that reduce the strain placed on the back.

This course will review proper lifting techniques, ergonomics, types of musculoskeletal disorders, ergonomic hazards, assessing the workplace, and types of controls.
