Back injuries can be controlled and prevented! They are not and should not be accepted as a cost of doing business!
Written in plain language for the industrial professional, this book presents back injury prevention methods that have proven effective for cost containment.

The author draws on literature from around the world and his own experience of over 20 years of treating and preventing back pain and neck pain in presenting information in this book. Several case studies prove that back injuries can be prevented, which can save hundreds of thousands of dollars and countless hours of lost work. This book will prove essential for helping trainers, safety specialists, ergonomists, industrial hygienists, and other industry personnel to implement the best cure for back pain-prevention!
