Although it may seem hard to believe, about 80 percent of adults will experience low-back pain at some point in their lives. It’s the most common (non-fatal) chronic health and safety illness/injury associated with the workplace, with over 8 million new occurrences in the U.S. annually. Spine issues and diagnoses can be complex, therefore a good prevention plan is key.
Humantech’s complimentary e-book focuses on why and how low-back pain occurs and offers suggestions on how to address both occupational and non-occupational risk factors. The publication includes useful links and references.
