According to the Bureau of labor statistics back injuries
accounted for almost 19% of all work related injuries in the United States in
2012. Workers with back injuries missed
an average of 7 days of work due to their injury. OSHA estimates that treatment of back injuries
cost $50 billion annually. The bottom
line is that back injuries are not only frequent but costly to employers. Make sure that you are discussing the
importance of back safety with your employees.
