2 Objectives Common Causes of Back Injuries Back Injury Prevention Principles of Safe Handling Proper Lifting Techniques Exercises
3 Back Safety Facts 80% of the population can expect to have back pain at some time in their lives. About 8 million Americans suffer new back injuries every year. Twice as many back injuries occur at home as in the workplace. About 400,000 people suffer disabling back injuries each year. Sooner or later 8 out of 10 adults at some point in their lives will experience back pain that impairs activity.
4 Back Injuries Involving Lost Work
5 Back Injury Cycle Back Problem Weakness Hurts to Move Stop Moving Stiffness
6 Back Safety & Lifting Heavy Lifting Twisting Job requires heavy lifting: Use equipment when possible or ask for help. Try to avoid repetitive lifting over a long period of time. Twisting at the waist while lifting or holding a heavy load. Reaching & Lifting Injury usually occurs when reaching over the head, across a table or out the back of a truck.
7 Back Safety & Lifting Carrying & Lifting Awkward Positions Slips, Trips & Falls Injury usually occurs when carrying or lifting objects with awkward or odd shapes. Poor postures that can contribute to back pain are caused by poor workstation layout and/or equipment design. It is very easy to injure your back, neck or legs while slipping, tripping or falling.
8 Back Safety & Lifting Sitting or Standing Sitting or standing too long in one position. Sitting can be very hard on the lower back. Other Causes Depression, anxiety, frustration, reinforcement, stress, anger, fear, and other psychological states can cause back pain. Also, loss of flexibility and strength.
9 How do I Take Care of My Back? Body Mechanics Proper Lifting Techniques Use appropriate equipment Exercise Stretching Correct Posture
10 It s not how much you lift or move, but the way you do it! General Rules: Push vs. Pull Keep Work Within Strike Zone Keep Load Close To Body Use Abdominal Bracing Pivot with Feet - Avoid Twisting Team Work vs. Mule Work Body Mechanics
11 Back Safety & Lifting Get close to the load Slowly Lift Squat Down Proper Lifting Techniques Hug the Load Grip the Load
12 Back Safety & Lifting Get close to the load Proper Lifting Techniques Get as close to the load as possible with your feet wide apart about shoulder width, with one foot slightly in front of the other for balance. Test the object s weight before lifting it. Ask for assistance from a co-worker when appropriate Have the object close to the body and put less force on the low back. Avoid rapid, jerky movements.
13 Back Safety & Lifting Squat Down Proper Lifting Techniques Cont.: Keep yourself in an upright position while squatting to pick up. Squat by bending the knees and hips. Keep the three Curves of the Back properly aligned: Ears, Shoulders, and Hips are in a straight line.
14 Grip the Load Environmental Health and Safety Back Safety & Lifting Proper Lifting Techniques Cont.: Tightening the stomach helps support the spine. Do not hold your breath while tightening the muscles. Get a firm grasp of the object before beginning the lift. Use both hands. Use whole hand, not just fingers. Use gloves as needed to prevent pinched grips or to protect the hands during lift.
15 Back Safety & Lifting Hug the Load Proper Lifting Techniques Cont.: Legs are the strongest muscles in the body so use them. Avoid back flexion. Hold objects close to body. Slide the object from the knee on the ground to mid-thigh. Keep the head forward. Hug the object to your stomach & chest.
16 Back Safety & Lifting Slowly Lift Proper Lifting Techniques Cont.: Lift with the legs to allow the body s powerful leg muscles to do the work. Flex the knees and hips, not the back. Avoid bending & twisting at the waist. Try to keep the back straight during the lift. Do not look down at the object during lift. Look up to help straighten the position of the back for a safer lift. Never Bend, Lift, and Twist at the same time.
17 Back Safety & Lifting Back Injury Prevention: Avoid Hyper extension movements of the back. Avoid Hyper flexion movements of the back
18 Why Focus on Conditioning? Benefits Strength and Stability Flexibility Aerobics for Endurance Anaerobic for Recovery Decreased Risk of Injury Better Job Performance
19 Start Safe The Warm-Up Begin with 5 10 minute warm-up Should be specific to activity Gradually increase intensity Stretch lightly (after warm-up) Don t overstretch Hold each stretch for at least 20 seconds
20 60 minutes per day Environmental Health and Safety Weight Management Benefit Enhanced Circulation Healthier Heart Decrease High Cholesterol Aerobic Exercise
21 Areas of Focus Trunk Abdominals Extensors Legs Quads Gluts Hip Flexors Strength & Flexibility
22 Stability Exercises Crunches Press Ups Bird Dog
23 Prevents injury Rids muscles of waste products Environmental Health and Safety Cool Down Returns heart rate and blood pressure to normal Suggestions: Stretch should last 15 or more seconds Gently stretch for 10 minutes
24 Stretches & Flexibility Lower Trunk Rotation Hamstring Stretch Quad Stretch
25 Bad posture can be the cause of spinal pain, it can make existing pain worse, and it certainly can make the pain last a lot longer. Environmental Health and Safety Posture
26 Other Ways to Take Care of Your Back Relaxation Techniques Staying Hydrated Recommended 64 ounces of water a day Stress Management Rest/Sleep Ensure proper sleeping methods
27 Treat Injuries the RICE Way! Rest avoid using affected area until pain-free Ice for 20 minutes at a time every few hours Compression pressure bandage to reduce swelling Elevation raise at or above heart level
28 When to Environmental See Health Your and Safety Doctor Injured limb/joint is deformed Broken skin over injury site Numbness, tingling Inability to move area without pain Joint feels unstable Can not bear weight Swelling Does not improve within 48 hours Begins within 30 minutes of injury
