Recommend that training include the
importance of good lifting techniques
to avoid these types of injuries.
Also recommend that training include
that studies have shown that back
support equipment does not
effectively protect workers against
injury and may actually put workers at
greater risk by creating a false sense of
security.
Ensure that a material safety data
sheet is available on sight for review
for this adhesive.
