In this episode, we discuss LIFT TRAINING Solutions and how it compares to other methods of managing the risk of injury in the workplace. Lower back pain is a major concern, and we start by sharing some perspectives on how you can add value to prevent and manage it. We explain what a Physical Demands Analysis is and why it's important in identifying and measuring the essential physical demands associated with a specific job or task. We discuss the four levels of ergonomic solutions, starting with Engineering ergonomic solutions, which are modifications to equipment and systems to improve their ergonomic qualities. Administrative ergonomic solutions involve changing work policies, procedures, and organizational culture. Behavioral ergonomic solutions involve modifying the behavior of workers through training and education, while Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is the final level of ergonomic solutions. We then discuss where LIFT TRAINING falls in terms of effectiveness. While lift training is a useful preventative measure, it is not the most effective method of managing the risk of injury. Rather, it should be combined with engineering controls and administrative solutions to reduce the risk of workplace injuries and musculoskeletal disorders.Links:Get started with office ergonomics assessments, Free Training!: https://www.ergonomicshelp.com/beginWaitlist for Accelerate: The Business of Ergonomics (next enrollment is June 2023)  https://www.ergonomicshelp.com/bizFree Ergonomics Traininghttps://www.ergonomicshelp.com/free-training
