Training Objectives

Understand how the spine and muscles function during lifting

Identify common back injuries caused by improper lifting

Course Overview

Understanding how your back works is essential for preventing lifting injuries.

Your leg muscles are designed to handle the heaviest loads. However, when lifting is done incorrectly, the strain often shifts to the back instead. This imbalance can put excessive pressure on the spine, particularly the lower back, which already supports much of the body's weight.

This training explains how lifting affects the spine and highlights common injuries such as muscle strains and herniated discs. By understanding these risks and the mechanics behind lifting, employees can take steps to protect their backs and reduce the likelihood of painful and costly injuries.

No Worries. Here's Some Helpful Info.

The spine supports the upper body and allows movement such as bending and twisting while distributing the forces created during lifting.

Leg muscles are stronger and designed to carry heavy loads, reducing strain on the back when used correctly.

A muscle strain occurs when muscles or ligaments in the back are overstretched or torn, often due to lifting heavy objects improperly.

A herniated disc occurs when pressure forces the soft inner material of a spinal disc outward, potentially compressing nearby nerves.

The lower back supports much of the body’s weight and acts as a pivot point when bending or twisting, making it more prone to strain.
