Back pain is the most expensive industrial injury. Representatives at DeRoyal, a manufacturer of orthopaedic soft goods, believed a total back hygiene program that included aggressive training in body mechanics would reduce the cost associated with back injury. Prior to implementing a back educational program, the knowledge base of employees was assessed. A survey designed to measure knowledge and application of proper body mechanics was developed and distributed to 100 randomly selected workers. Most workers know the best way to lift. But, they had less knowledge of the best way to push. They also did not always use proper technique in lifting without twisting, planning lifts, and proper standing. A subset of workers that has previously attended back training sessions (n = 6) all gave the correct answers on 4 or the 5 survey items. Orthopaedic nurses could play a critical role in the industrial setting through assessment of body mechanic knowledge and implementation of educational programs.
背痛是最昂贵的工伤。骨科软质用品制造商DeRoyal的代表认为，一个全面的背部保健计划，包括积极的身体力学培训，将降低与背部受伤相关的成本。在实施背部教育计划之前，对员工的知识基础进行了评估。设计了一项旨在测量正确身体力学知识和应用的调查，并分发给100名随机挑选的工人。大多数工人知道最佳的提举方式。但是，他们对最佳的推的方式了解较少。他们在提举时也并非总是采用正确的技巧，比如不扭转身体、规划提举动作以及正确站立。一组之前参加过背部培训课程的工人（n = 6）在5项调查项目中的4项上都给出了正确答案。骨科护士可以通过评估身体力学知识和实施教育计划，在工业环境中发挥关键作用。
