Mind your back
April 1st 2010 Mind Your Back When Lifting is one of
two recent additions to the range of
Safety Point safety posters from
Heath Technical Services.Making a
vital safety point through the use of
gentle humour, this poster points out
that Mr Bendy can snap back into
shape after being distorted but
humans can't. It extols the virtues of
keeping a straight back when lifting
large or heavy objects and lifting from
the legs.
A second poster, Don't be a
Dummy! Take care of your back!,
features back-care advice on
maximum loads, handling unfamiliar
loads, how to turn with a load, how to
lift and using leg strength.
Heath Technical Services is offering
a free poster to the first 12 H&SS
readers to respond to this editorial. More articles from Heath Technical Services: |
