5 Tips to Prevent Back Injuries
• Inactivity—a desk job can contribute to back pain, especially if you have poor posture or sit all day in a chair with inadequate back support
What Causes Back Pain
13 MFGUTAH
Consult the Hierarchy of Hazard Control
• Picture this: Recycling collectors have historically faced high injury rates due to the repetitive task of lifting recycling containers and emptying them into recycling trucks. In recent years, companies have adopted mechanical side arms to lift the bin of recyclables into the truck, eliminating the need for employees to manually lift recycling contain ers entirely.
Identifying and controlling safety and health hazards in the workplace is fundamental to the prevention of injuries and illnesses. Many different techniques are available to help identify hazards, such as workplace audits, supervisor observation, job safety analysis and injury claims analysis. The hierarchy of hazard control is a system used to minimize or eliminate worker exposure to hazards, helping you prioritize possible safety measures to help ensure you’re getting the most impact.
To use the hierarchy of hazard control correctly, start by looking for solutions at the top of the hierarchy and work your way down.
5 Tips for Preventing Back Injuries in the Workplace
Several factors can contribute to back pain at work.
EMC Insurance and CUI Agency Back injuries account for nearly 20% of all injuries and illnesses in the workplace, affecting more than one million workers annually. Whether your employ ees sit at a desk in an office setting or regularly lift and move heavy materials, back injury prevention is important.
There are steps you can take to avoid and prevent back injuries at work. Here are five tips to reduce strain on your back while working:
For example: • Force—exerting too much force on your back, such as by lifting or moving heavy objects
1. Workplace improvements: Elimination of a haz ard is the most effective means of controlling it. Start by figuring out how to avoid lifting in the first place. Consider redesigning a workstation to relieve physical stress and remove ergonomic hazards, or introduce mechanical aids (lift tables, hoists, etc.) to minimize material handling injuries.
4. Stretch regularly: Daily stretching exercises can improve flexibility, which allows the body to turn and twist the back with less chance of injury. Although this tactic is less effective than the ones above, implementing a stretching program it is relatively inexpensive in the short-term.
UMAWEB.ORG 14
2. Modify repetitive tasks: If you cannot eliminate the need to lift, try modifying the task to reduce the force and frequency of lifting. Can you change the way the job is done to limit the lifting? Can you alter nate physically demanding tasks with less demand ing ones?
Free Industrial Ergonomics Training
Preventing back injuries is just one part of the ergo nomics equation. Learn how you can effectively man age industrial ergonomics in your operation during a free virtual training session with EMC’s Senior Risk Improvement Representative, Nic Benson. Nic will discuss how you can detect and address ergonomic issues to reduce operational expense and downtime. The session is free for all UMA members.
• Picture this: Considering the example above, replacing a fleet of recycling collection vehi cles takes time and money to implement. In the meantime, the company could shorten routes or limit the number of hours an employee spends doing the physically demanding task. To limit the number of hours, drivers can alternate their time between driving and completing other required tasks at the processing facility or partake in a job rotation. The company can also consider hiring additional drivers to allow for shorter shifts. Be careful not to substitute one task that stresses the back for another.
Industrial Ergonomics with Nic Benson Wednesday, Sept. 28 10 – 11 a.m. MT Register
• Bonus tip: Consider what new risks or hazards are created in the event of a substitution. For example, while using a side arm to lift the bin of recyclables into the truck eliminates lifting for the employee, using a joystick for 10+ hours a day to control the arm introduces another overexertion risk—stress on the hands and wrist. Albeit not as great as the lifting exposure, you still need to be cognizant of it and consider alternatives, such as a button instead of a joystick.
5. Engage with employees: One of the most effec tive ways to involve employees in your ergonom ics program is to consult with them. For example, organizations can discuss ergonomics during safety meetings and the group can identify ergonomic risks and brainstorm ways to improve a process. Employ ees are a great resource to tap into to find ergonom ic solutions.
• Use this resource: The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Lifting
The recycling collector is a good example of a critical hazard where multiple recommendations could be made. Often organizations gravitate toward lower levels of the hierarchy of hazard control (such as personal protective equipment) because they ap pear to be less costly and time consuming. While they be less effort in the short run, they are not as effective long-term. Remember, the highest levels of control on the hierarchy are the most reli able at addressing hazards.
3. Lift properly: If you cannot eliminate the lifting task, make sure to protect yourself by lifting prop erly—this is an “administrative control” according to the hierarchy of hazard control. When lifting and carrying a heavy object, get close to the object, bend your knees and tighten your stomach muscles. Use your leg muscles to support your body as you stand up. Hold the object close to your body. Maintain the natural curve of your back. Don’t twist when lifting. If an object is too heavy to lift safely, ask someone to help you.
Picking the Right Recommendation
Equation mobile application, NLE Cal, is a tool that looks at specific tasks and calculates the overall risk index for single and multiple manual lifting tasks— giving you an idea of whether it’s a safe lift for the worker.
With the proper planning, training and tools any fa cility can create an environment that enables work ers to avoid back injuries. Find More Online Visit EMC’s website for free loss control resources, including a customizable industrial ergonomics pro gram template.

Frontline Leadership Series
Frontline leaders are responsible for leading almost 80% of the workforce, but many feel they are not pre pared for their new and or current roles. Their respon sibilities can include training, monitoring, hiring, firing, resolving, and assigning. Frontline supervisors report to middle or executive management and are often an organization’s largest population of leaders. Research shows many CFOs are not confident in their organi zation’s ability to develop new leaders or attract and retain top talent. The solution lies in developing the learning Frontlineculture.leaders encounter their fair share of issues on their way to becoming leaders. Diverse age groups within departments, unmotivated workers, “tribal” knowledge, and resistance to change are some of the problems supervisors face when attempting to imple ment new protocols or training. Frontline supervisors are essentially the choke point between upper man agement and frontline workers. They field tremendous demands from both sides, and, if supervisors are disen gaged or lack leadership abilities, they can feel like their jobs are thankless. UMA wants to help you develop your current workforce and reduce costs, increase retention, and improve your bottom line. Helping develop your frontline leaders is a critical piece of creating a learning culture and equip ping them with the tools they need to succeed will re duce talent turnover. Helping your employees transition from peer to leader is one of the most important invest ments you can make. Though it’s common for frontline supervisors to be first-time managers, they are respon sible for critical day-to-day operations and influencing the work of their direct reports. They are also often tasked with implementing any continuous improvement strategies their organization adopts.

The value add for business can be defined by the follow ing:
Finding qualified talent is increasingly expensive, com petitive, and time-consuming. Currently, the burden of educating our workforce falls directly on the education system. Meanwhile businesses are having difficulty finding employees with the appropriate competencies to fill these skilled positions. Youth apprenticeships tackle the problem head on by helping businesses play a part in shaping young talent and providing the education system with an applied learning environment for students. Youth apprenticeships offer robust workbased learning opportunities in modern day careers like Advanced Manufacturing to Machining; and take an innovative approach to talent acquisition that ultimately leave businesses with a positive ROI and workforce fit to tackle the modern-day world.
Manufacturing apprenticeships don’t divert students from higher education, rather it’s an in-depth education option that combines theoretical learning with hands on learning focused on preparing young students for a viable career in manufacturing. It can be a direct path to high-paying, in-demand jobs, or the first stackable step in their education journey. Any student, regardless of their end goal, can benefit from an apprenticeship. As we develop youth apprenticeships, we must look to the Swiss apprenticeship system for guidance. In Swit zerland there are over 200 approved apprenticeships and over 40% of companies participate in the program. 70% of Swiss students choose to start their higher education with an apprenticeship. Many of the world’s largest companies are run by CEOs that started out as an apprentice.

Youth Apprenticeships
Youthductivityapprenticeships are industry-driven where organiza tions can develop their own pipeline. In the current labor market, the talent pool is simply too small. In this hot labor market, where the number of jobs exceed the number of skilled workers, there’s a high probability that other organi zations are trying to poach your employees. Not just your stars. Everyone. If employers create pipelines and paths, this can lead to higher retention and a strong company culture.

• Have we lost a good employee to a competitor? If any of these questions caused you to stop and think or created some anxiety, we are confident we can help with our Advanced Skills Training.
Our training uses a consultative approach that will help your team get better at uncover ing real pain points, removing roadblocks, overcoming objections, and identifying value for their prospective clients. Ultimately, you want your sales team to know how to position your products in a valued and benefit-centric way. Sales skills development is never a quick or easy fix. However, our process has a proven track record that works. We are excited to help your sales team/business development team get better at what they do. We also know that investing in your team will help them grow in confidence and improve in their role, which in many cases creates a culture of con fidence and an environment of stability.
