Engineers and maintenance personnel know
from experience that moving parts in equipment and machinery,
if not properly used and maintained, are subject to wear and
tear. Yet when it comes to our own bodies, we often think of
them as indestructible. Overexertion type injuries are the highest
percentage of worker compensations costs representing nearly
30 cents of every $1 in claims paid. These types of injuries
are often associated with lifting, pushing, pulling, tossing
and handling material. In this effective and motivational program,
your employees will learn how the body functions, risk factors
associated with overexertion type injuries, and preventive measures
they can utilize to reduce their exposure and prevent injuries.
The program teaches the impact their posture can have on their
body and the cumulative affect of improper lifting techniques.
The visual graphics and comprehensive information will educate
and motivate your employees to make the proper decisions and
lifestyle adjustments to ensure their health and safety. (14
