• The huge number of back injuries suffered by employees every year has prompted charity 13ackCare to produce a new book aimed at tackling the problem.
Back Care at Work: An Ergonomic Guide to Manual Handling includes everything from practical descriptions of haw to lift and carry objects of all shapes and sizes to advice on how to carry out risk assessments, Back trouble is often the consequence of adopting the wrong posture when lifting something, or of trying to lift an object that's too heavy.
"Millions of working days are lost every year as a consequence of back problems, and this costs businesses millions of pounds," says Nia Taylor, RackCare's deputy chief executive.
Costing 212.99 plus 22 postage and packing, the book can be ordered by ringing 0208 977 5474, or by visiting the website: vnvw.backcare.org.uk
