Safe-Lifting Training
Safe-Lifting Training is a training program where a
person is trained to lift and move properly, reducing their risk of injury.
Body mechanics
are very important in maintaining a balanced position while performing
a variety of work tasks. Workers in physically demanding jobs can use
their bodies in ways that increase their risk of injury. When the body
is moved in an unbalanced position, it is utilized at a mechanical disadvantage.
Like any material, whether steel cables or muscles, over time and with
repetitive use, the body will wear out. Using the body with a mechanical
advantage
takes training, practice and constant awareness. This program teaches
and trains employees in job specific tasks to reduce their risk of injuries
and increase their awareness of how to best use their bodies.
REMEMBER…the best tool that you have ever been
given is your body. Take care of it and use it wisely!
