Preventing Back Injuries – Toolbox Talk
Back injuries account for one in every five workplace injuries—and most don’t happen all at once. This Preventing Back Injuries Toolbox Talk trains your crew to recognize risk factors, adopt proper lifting techniques, and use lifting aids before strain turns into long-term damage.
Designed for workers handling materials, tools, or equipment in construction, warehousing, industrial, and field environments.
