Lifting

Employees can tear a muscle, hurt their backs, or sustain a sprain in the course of lifting a box or any other object that is too heavy for them without proper training or using the right lighting techniques.  Injuries sustained in this type of accident can cause long-term spine, neck, or back issues. It is important to seek medical treatment if you suspect that you have sustained a lifting accident, no matter how trivial it might seem to mitigate the injury and avoid complications.
