1287   Dummy Series: Back Safety   (DVD)

In this video, our workplace "crash-test dummies" return to work for Back Safety Awareness Day. However, despite the company's effort to make employees aware of the actions they can take to prevent them; our dummies suffer several back injuries. Embedded in these mishaps is the message that back injuries don't happen to crash test dummies, they happen to real people who ignore basic back safety practices.

The key training points in this video include:

• How poor lifting techniques lead to painful back injuries.
• How to safely plan the lift, execute the lift, travel with the load and set down the load.
• How exercise and good posture can aid in preventing back pain.
• How to respond to back pain.
