Proper lifting techniques are critical for preventing back injuries on farms, orchards, and ranches. This training covers practical steps for safe lifting, minimizing strain and downtime, and maintaining long-term musculoskeletal health for agricultural workers.
Use cases
- Essential for orchard workers who frequently lift fruit crates, tools, and supplies.
- Beneficial for any farm or ranch staff handling heavy or awkward loads.
- Ideal for reducing workplace injuries during peak harvest or packing seasons.
Why it works
- Emphasizes keeping loads close to the body and securing good handholds for better control and reduced strain.
- Encourages use of mechanical aids (hand trucks, carts) and team lifting to prevent overexertion.
- Promotes work organization to avoid dangerous lifting heights and repetitive strain, supporting safer workflow on the farm.
