Lifting, lowering, and handling loads at work can be so common that we can forget they’re one of the main causes of workplace injuries. Even if it’s not part of your daily routine, you've probably lifted something heavy at work. You likely did not pay much attention about how to reduce the risks of hurting yourself.

Improper load handling  is a concern in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Over the past five years, more than 12% of time loss injuries were due to the handling of loads. More than 40% of these incidents caused injuries to the back.
