I help companies prevent workplace injuries, lower injury-related costs and increase worker productivity by teaching workers how to prevent injuries.
Often the simple changes are the ones that make the biggest changes This applies to workplace lifting techniques Lifting objects (like boxes) is part of many workplaces, and this is unlikely to change What can be changed is how the objects are lifted If objects need to be lifted, why not lift them in a way that protects the low back from injury? One of the biggest changes we make in workspaces is how workers lift Why? Because they were never taught how to properly lift in the first place and have developed lifting habits that put them at risk for injury If companies would teach these basic techniques during employee onboarding it would save millions in injury-related costs and improve worker safety.\ Win-Win. #injuryprevention #healthyworkforce #healthyworkplace #movementismedicine #ergonomics
