Course Description

Back injuries are the leading cause of time loss claims in the workplace. In most jurisdictions, the annual number of back-injury claims is more than twice the total of the second most common injury.

This 4-hour course is intended to reduce the incidents of back injuries in the workplace through education. It has been developed for top employees and supervisors who are interested in becoming back safety trainers in their workplace. Students will be introduced to training methodology through a “Train the Trainer” module.
