Training
Provided by Technical Presentations
For many employees, back injuries are something that "happens to the other person... not me." Yet four out of five people will have some type of back problem during their lives. Back injuries are frequently caused by common activities experienced both on and off the job... such as lifting, climbing, reaching, etc. "Back Safety" emphasizes the importance of overall back care, both on and off the job, including exercises and weight control. Delivery formats include CD-ROM, LAN, WAN, Intranet, Internet. The course can be customized to meet your site-specific needs. It is currently available in English and Spanish, and other language tracks can be added.
