Preventing Back Injury
Have you experienced a sudden, sharp pain in your back? Such discomfort can be not only painful, but also incapacitating, potentially hindering your ability to work. Our course, "Preventing Back Injury," aids you in gaining an understanding of the back's functionality and the measures you can take to avoid injuries.
Many occupational tasks involve lifting, which initially might not result in immediate discomfort.

By consistently practising safe lifting techniques, workers can establish beneficial habits and evade back injuries.
