Brass Knuckle Offers Quick Reference Lifting Guide Poster
Every year, two million back injuries occur across the U.S., and roughly half of them, one million, are sustained in the workplace.
 |
Three-quarters of those workplace-related back injuries occur during a lifting task.
Employers have a stake in promoting proper lifting, as the consequences of back injuries are costly in workers’ compensation claims, days away from work, and lost productivity. Proper lifting techniques, and proper back support, like the Brass Knuckle BKBS are part of prevention.
Brass Knuckle has created a quick-reference guide for safe lifting, suitable for posting around plants and other workplace buildings.
Using proper lifting techniques recommended by OSHA, the poster offers practical advice on methods to employ to reduce strain on the back during lifting. Tips include proper stance, lifting motion, and pitfalls to avoid while lifting.
The lifting guide can be downloaded here: brass-knuckle-proper-lifting-guide.pdf
For extra support during lifting, Brass Knuckle BKBS Back Support is a comfortable and adjustable support belt.
Its attached 1.5-inch elastic suspenders distribute support throughout the trunk. Abdominal support tapers to fit the body. Padding on the sides and pressure-relieving low-back support in the lumbar region help increase comfort.
The polyester/mesh elastic body on the BKBS back supporter, has a durable, double hook-and-loop closure system and the support is available in four sizes.
