The most common cause of injury in a workplace is when workers lift heavy items. Back pain in construction workers is the most reported injury across all other industries combined. Back injuries are a leading cause of disability among middle-aged workers.

The cause of most major back injuries is handling and lifting heavy objects and materials. Lifting heavy materials leads to pulled muscles, back sprains, elbow injuries, hernias, and shoulder injuries. Learning the proper lifting techniques is vital to keeping you safe and healthy.
