According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, over one million workers suffer back injuries each year. This data allows OSHA to estimate that 1 out of every 5 occupational injuries involves back strains, and one-fourth of all workers' compensation claims involve injuries to the back. Using OSHA-recommended safe lifting procedures is one way to avoid back strains and related injuries.

Personnel Concepts' 11" x 17" Safe Lifting Procedures poster features simplified lifting instructions and illustrations to ensure that employees are aware of proper techniques for lifting heavy boxes and other loads.
