Abstract
Though worker training is often chosen as a means to reduce the risk of low back pain if involved in lifting activities, the effect on a worker's lifting posture is rarely reported. This paper describes a video analysis method of recording lifting postures and the results of one evaluation of a training program specifically designed to modify lifting postures. It is concluded that a four-hour training program had beneficial but minor effects on the lifting techniques used by healthy workers in a warehouse when handling relatively light to moderate loads (i.e., 85% of loads lifted were below 30 pounds).
