This interactive course on Safe Lifting in Transportation and Warehouse Environments discusses how lifting and carrying things can affect the back, and how employees can use safe lifting techniques to help them avoid back injuries in transportation or warehouse facilities. We’ve all experienced back pain at one time or another, and it probably resulted from lifting something incorrectly. Maybe the load was too big or too heavy, or we lifted from an awkward position. But if you want to avoid injuries, you need to make sure that you use your back the “right way”. Areas covered in the course include the mechanics of safe lifting in a transportation environment, how to “listen” to your back, types of back injuries, preparing to lift something in a way that protect your back, how to keep your back safe when you’re lifting “below the waist”, and more. Using a powerful combination of audio, full-motion video, text and colorful graphics, this course provides the most cost-effective safety and regulatory compliance training available today. The course is divided into a number of logical sections so information is easily understood… and retained.
This course is provided in partnership with MARCOM, a top-rated safety and compliance training content provider.
