Musculoskeletal injuries make up about half of all work-related injuries, and in this course you follow Jake through his first weeks in a physically demanding job as he learns to protect the only body he’ll ever have. You’ll learn how the FERMI approach (food, exercise, rest, mind and intention) helps you stay fit for the job, how to spot the warning signs of strain, and how to plan a lift by checking the load, your own readiness and the route. Then see how to cut the risk at the source, from automation and mechanical aids to job rotation, and practise the boxer stance, pivoting and team lifting so that every lift you do is a safe one.
