This document provides information on back safety and injury prevention. It discusses how back injuries are common, costly, and debilitating. Two main types of back injuries involve soft tissues or spinal discs. Factors like heavy lifting, awkward positions, sitting or standing too long can strain the back. Maintaining good posture, conditioning and following lifting best practices like using proper technique and getting assistance can help reduce risks and promote back health.
Back injuries are very common, costly, and painful. The spine is made up of vertebrae separated by discs that act as cushions and allow movement. Heavy lifting, twisting, reaching, and poor posture can put stress on the back and cause injuries over time as discs deteriorate or vertebrae shift. Proper lifting techniques like keeping loads close, lifting with legs, and avoiding twisting can help prevent back strain or injury from occurring.
Back injuries are very common, costly, and painful. The spine consists of vertebrae separated by discs that can deteriorate over time from stress. Many back injuries are caused by lifting improperly with bent backs or twisting, putting pressure of 10 times the weight on the lower back. Proper lifting technique and taking breaks can help prevent strain and injury.
This document summarizes skiing injuries among children, adolescents, and adults based on data collected from 1972-1994 at two ski resorts in Vermont. The main findings are:
1) The overall injury rate was 2.79 injuries per 1000 skier days, with the highest rate in children (4.27) and lowest in adults (2.69).
2) The most common injuries were knee contusions in children, thumb sprains in adolescents, and ACL tears in adults.
3) Injury rates decreased over time, especially for tibial fractures which fell 89% in adults, due to improved ski equipment.
4) However, 71% of skiers with tibial fractures had
According to the presentation:
1) Back injuries are one of the most common workplace injuries, costing employers billions annually.
2) Material handling and lifting injuries are exceedingly painful and difficult to heal from, and increase the risk of future injuries.
3) Proper lifting technique is important to prevent back strain, including bending the knees, keeping the back straight, and lifting with the legs instead of the back. The calculator can determine if a load is too heavy to lift safely.
The majority of back pain is caused by muscle or ligament strains or sprains from lifting improperly or repetitive tasks. While most back injuries heal, prevention is important to avoid recurrence. Proper lifting technique and ergonomics can help reduce back strain, such as keeping the back straight, lifting with legs, avoiding twisting, and using assistance for heavy loads. Potential back injuries from tasks should be assessed and addressed through engineering and administrative controls like automation, job rotation, or lifting aids.
The document discusses how ski biomechanics and physiology can help improve ski technique and performance. It outlines 6 typical issues that inhibit skiing ability: 1) poor ski leg flex pattern, 2) lack of skier symmetry, 3) limited leg steering range, 4) underuse of thigh steering, 5) differences in leaning left and right, and 6) weak core strength. Addressing these issues through biomechanical and physiological exercises and awareness can enhance safety, reduce injury risk, and help skiers progress past intermediate plateaus.

2) Scaffolds must be designed by a qualified person to support at least four times the intended load. They must have a sound footing and be properly inspected before each use.
3) Scaffold safety requires fall protection such as guardrails if a fall could be over 10 feet, and the supervision of a competent person during erection, alteration or dismantling. Hazard prevention includes securing scaffolds in high winds and keeping them clear of ice and snow.
The document discusses the role and qualities of a supervisor. It defines a supervisor as someone primarily in charge of a section and its employees, who is responsible for production quantity and quality. A supervisor derives authority from department heads to direct employees' work and ensure tasks are completed according to instructions. Effective supervision requires leadership, motivation, and communication skills. The supervisor acts as a link between management and workers, communicating policies and opinions in both directions. To be effective, a supervisor must have technical competence, managerial qualities, leadership skills, instruction skills, human orientation, decision-making abilities, and knowledge of rules and regulations.
Oregon State University provides a safety orientation for new employees that covers the following key points:
1) OSU is committed to ensuring a safe work environment and holds supervisors accountable for safety responsibilities. Disregard of safety policies may result in discipline.
2) The Office of Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) oversees compliance with regulations from agencies like OSHA and ensures expertise in areas such as radiation, biological, and chemical safety.
3) New employees must review materials on hazard communication and complete any required job-specific safety training with their supervisors. Documentation of all training is mandatory.

This presentation is designed to assist trainers conducting Lifting and Back Safety training for workers. Since workers are the target audience, this presentation emphasizes hazard identification, avoidance, and control – not standards. No attempt has been made to treat the topic exhaustively. It is essential that trainers tailor their presentations to the needs and understanding of their audience.
This presentation is not a substitute for any of the provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 or for any standards issued by the U.S. Department of Labor.
At the conclusion of this training session, participants should be able to…
Describe the two common types of back injuries.
Identify the key contributing factors to back injuries.
Describe the common disc degeneration factors and the stages of disc degeneration.
Describe the common causes of back injuries.
Demonstrate proper lifting techniques and identify the steps found in the in the Lifting Safety Checklist.
Articulate and discuss the primary areas of back injury prevention.
Back injuries are considered to be the number one workplace safety problem and lower back problems are the leading cause of disability for persons under the age of 45 and the second most common reason for doctor visits among U.S. citizens, according to the National Center for Health Statistics.
Back injuries affect the company bottom line too:
Lower back pain is the No. 1 leading cause of missed workdays, costing individuals $60 billion per year in treatments and businesses about $15 billion annually. It's estimated that at least 80 percent of all people will experience some form of lower back pain at some point in their lives.
Some back injuries involve the “soft tissue” that is the muscle, ligament type injury.
However, a more serious injury occurs when the discs of the spine are involved.
It will be helpful to gain a cursory understanding of the spine to better understand how injuries can occur. The diagram depicts a normal spine.
The normal anatomy of the spine is usually described by dividing the spine into 3 primary sections:
The cervical,
The thoracic, and
The lower part of the spine called the lumbar, which holds most of the body’s weight.
Below the lumbar spine is a bone called the sacrum, which is part of the pelvis.
Each section is made up of individual bones called vertebrae. There are 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, and 5 lumbar vertebrae.
The spine’s vertebrae are held together by ligaments
Muscles are attached to the vertebrae by bands of tissue called tendons
Between each vertebra is a cushion known as a disc
Openings in each vertebra line up to form a long, hollow canal
The spinal cord runs through this canal from the base of the brain
Nerves from the spinal cord branch out and leave the spine through the spaces between the vertebra
This diagram shows a close up of a section of the spine.
The vertebrae are separated by Intervertebral discs between the bones. The discs allow flexibility in your spine and act as shock absorbers.
Each disc is made up of two parts - the hard, tough outer layer called the annulus surrounds a mushy, moist center termed the nucleus.
The discs are firmly attached to vertebrae, so cannot “slip.”
If the annulus or outer fibrous ring gets damaged, part of the gel part can start protruding out. When this occurs it is referred to as a disc protrusion or herniation.
Many factors increase the risk of a herniated disc.
(1) Lifestyle choices such as tobacco use, inadequate nutrition and excess weight substantially contribute to poor disc health. Extra weight in particular can be a big problem. The more you weigh, the more stress it puts on your back every time you bend over.
(2) As the body ages, natural biochemical changes cause discs to gradually dry out affecting disc strength and resiliency.
(3) Poor posture combined with the habitual use of incorrect body mechanics stresses the lumbar spine and affects its normal ability to carry the bulk of the body's weight. When your mother told you to sit and stand up straight, she was giving you good advice. It is best to try to maintain the back in its natural "S" shaped curve. You want to avoid leaning forward (unsupported) when you sit, or hunching over while you're standing.
(4) Lack of regular exercise and core body strength. Your stomach muscles provide a lot of the support needed by your back. If you have weak, flabby stomach muscles, your back may not get all the support it needs, especially when you're lifting or carrying heavy objects. Good physical condition in general is important for preventing strains, sprains, and other injuries.
There are 4 stages of disc degeneration
Intial Disc Degeneration: chemical changes associated with aging causes discs to weaken, but not herniate.
Prolapse: the form or position of the disc changes with some slight impingement into the spinal canal. This is also commonly referred to as a bulge or protrusion.
Extrusion: Extrusions occur when the gel-like nucleus breaks through the annulus fibrosus but still remains within the disc.
Sequestration Also know as a Sequestered or Herniated Disc occurs when the nucleus pulposus breaks through the annulus fibrosus and lies outside the disc in the spinal canal.
The lower part of the back holds most of the body’s weight.
Every time you bend over, lift a heavy object, or sit leaning forward, you put tremendous stress on your spine.
Think of your back as a lever. With the fulcrum in the center of the lever, how many pounds would it take to lift a 10-pound object? 5 Pounds? 10 Pounds? 15 Pounds?
It takes 10 pounds of pressure to lift a 10 pound object.
Will it take more or less force to lift the same 10 pound object with the fulcrum shifted away from the object?
With the fulcrum shifted away from the object, it takes more force to lift the object.
The human back operates on a 10:1 lifting ratio, with the waist acting as the fulcrum.
When you add in the 105 pounds of the average human upper torso, lifting a 10-pound object puts 1,150 pounds of pressure on the human back.
Now it’s easy to see how repetitive bending and lifting can quickly cause back problems.
Even leaning forward while sitting at a desk or table can eventually cause damage and pain.
If you were 25 pounds overweight, it would put an additional 250 pounds of pressure on your back every time you bend over!
Let’s take a look at the most common causes of back injuries…
Heavy Lifting …especially repetitive lifting over a long period of time
Twisting at the waist …while lifting or holding a heavy load
Reaching and lifting …over your head, across a table, or out the back of a truck
Working in odd, uncomfortable positions …especially tasks that require you to bend over for long periods of time
Sitting or standing too long in one position …sitting can be very hard on the lower back
Slips, trips and falls
Some people suffer back pain because they sleep in a bad position, or because their mattress is too soft.
In terms of back care, what is the best sleep position for your back?
Either Answer #2 or Answer #3 is correct.
If you've been waking up with a sore or painful back, you might try sleeping on your side with your knees slightly bent, or on your back with a small pillow under your knees.
You can also try putting boards under your old mattress or maybe try a new slightly firmer mattress.
Of course, always check with your doctor first regarding any health problems or concerns.
The best way to prevent back injuries is to develop habits that reduce the strain placed on the back.
First of all avoid lifting whenever you can. If you must lift, there are some basic things you can do to help avoid injuries.
The best zone for lifting is between your shoulders and your waist.
Place objects up off the floor. That way you won’t have to reach down to pick them up again. Put heavier objects on shelves at waist level, lighter objects on lower or higher shelves.
Use carts and dollies to move objects, instead of carrying them yourself.
It is better to push a cart, dolly, lawnmower, wheelbarrow, etc. than it is to pull it. However, if you do have to pull it, consciously force yourself to tighten your stomach muscles and try to maintain good body posture.
Pace yourself. Take many small breaks between lifts if you are lifting a number of things.
Don't overdo it -- NEVER try to lift something too heavy for you. If you have to strain to carry the load, it's too heavy for you.
Make sure you have enough room to lift safely. Clear a space around the object before lifting it.
Look around before you lift and look around as you carry. Make sure you can see where you are walking. Know where you are going to put down the load.
Avoid walking on slippery and uneven surfaces while carrying something.
And always get help before you try to lift a heavy load.
If you must lift it is extremely important that you use the proper form.
Proper form starts with planning your move
Size up the load and make sure your path is clear.
Arrange for help as needed
Use handles or straps whenever they are available
And always use a dolly or other materials handling equipment if possible.
Use a wide, balanced stance with one foot slightly ahead of the other and with your heals on the floor
Get as close to the load as possible
Use your palms, not just your fingers to grasp the load
Tighten your stomach muscles as the lift begins
Keep your lower back in its normal arched position
Use slow and smooth movements.
Keep your body facing the object while you lift it. Pivot to turn - Don’t twist your back
Keep the load close to your body
Lower the load slowly, maintaining the curve in your lower back
Here are some additional lifting tips…
When transferring your weight always pull the object towards you while transferring your weight to the lift side
Lift the object only to the level required
Make sure to shift your weight to the other leg while pushing the object into position.
And again make sure you do not twist
When you are lifting heavy bags….
Always put one knee down against bag
Pull bag up your leg and rest bag on edge of your knee
Stand upright
And then Pull the bag to waist height
The Lifting Safety Checklist is an easy four-step reminder for lifting an object safely and preventing back injuries…
1. Have you checked the object before you try to lift it?
Test every load before you lift by pushing the object lightly with your hands or feet to see how easily it moves. This tells you about how heavy it is.
And remember, a small size does not always mean a light load.
2. Is the load you want to lift packed right?
Make sure the weight is balanced and packed so it won't move around.
Loose pieces inside a box can cause accidents if the box becomes unbalanced.
3. Is it easy to grip this load?
Be sure you have a tight grip on the object before you lift it.
Handles applied to the object may help you lift it safely.
4. Is it easy to reach this load?
You can be injured if you arch your back when lifting a load over your head.
To avoid hurting your back, use a ladder when you're lifting something over your head.
It's important to know your body's limitations, and it's equally important to be aware of your body position at all times.
Learn to recognize those situations where your back is most at risk:
Bending… lifting…. Reaching… and twisting
Then take measures to avoid an injury.
If you know that you're going to be doing work that might be hard on your back, take the time to stretch your muscles before starting, just like a professional athlete would do before a workout.
If you're doing a lot of heavy, repetitive lifting, take it slowly if you can. Allow yourself more recovery time between lifts, as well. Remember: Don't overdo it.
Taking a one-minute stretch break every now to avoid injury
Use a firm mattress and Remember that the best sleeping position for many people is either on the back with the knees slightly elevated (by a pillow), or on the side with knees slightly bent.
Strengthen your stomach muscles, lose a little weight, and increase your flexibility.
Let’s do a quick review of what we learned …
Back injuries are the leading cause of disability accounting for more than 20% of all workers comp claims
Every time you bend over, lift a heavy object, or sit leaning forward, you put stress on your spine
Two common types of back injuries are soft tissue and injuries to the intervertebral spinal discs
Over time, the discs between your vertebrae can start to wear out and become damaged
Factors contributing to back injuries include poor physical condition, poor posture, excessive weight and stress
The lift safety check includes checking the object before you lift, determining if it is packed correctly and insuring a proper grip
Proper lifting technique includes planning the move, using a wide, balanced stance, getting as close to the load as possible and pivoting your feet versus twisting
Strengthening your stomach muscles, losing a little weight, and increasing your flexibility will go along way toward preventing back pain and injury
