These short training DVDs are designed to help employees within the education sector understand the basics of back care, which can make the difference between a healthy back and an injured one, and can reduce the risk of injuring themselves in their workplaces.

WHAT IS COVERED IN THESE DVDS?

The Lifting and Your Back awareness DVD is a resource for health and safety professionals, supervisors and all workers. It is intended to assist with understanding how the back and related structures work together when a person is lifting an object.

The Lifting Injury Prevention DVD is the same as the Lifting and Your Back video but includes a series of stretches and exercises that can be used to assist in keeping the back in good physical condition.

ESAO recommends that employees contact a Health Professional before beginning an exercise program. This video should only be used in conjunction with employee training programs.
