Workers' Compensation
The most common on the job injuries occur when lifting. Proper posture, alignment, and technique help protect workers from some of these injuries. However, the ideal circumstances often do not exist when attempting to lift materials or even people.
Sometimes, even the most seemingly minor back strains result in serious consequences.
