Back Safety/Ergonomics Training

This course is designed for employees who are required to lift as part of their job description; however, all are welcome to take this course. Lifting techniques and basic biomechanics are discussed and demonstrated.

If you've ever had trouble with your back, knees, shoulders or neck, this course will give you practical information to minimize risk factors associated with musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), potential sprain/strain and injury.

You can take the Online Training.

For additional information, see our Ergonomics Program.
