Instructor teaches correct heavy-lifting techniques to railway workers to try and prevent serious back injuries on rail sites.
It is estimated that injuries sustained in the working environment cost companies millions each year in lost productivity and revenue. Back pain and injuries related to lifting and material handling are some of the most frequent reasons for workers’ absenteeism. Many big employers, like the rail industry, have concluded that investing time and money in training programmes yields improved productivity, reduces medical expenses, prevents wage loss, increases morale and reduces potential lost work time due to injury - and perhaps permanent disability.
