Through this workshop, attendees will learn how to evaluate cultural influences that can either deter, or promote hiring an individual with a disability, and to train attendees in disability etiquette which results in improved workplace morale, enhanced levels of customer service, and increased sales opportunities.”

Although different jobs have different hazards, by far one of the most preventable workers’ compensation injuries for general business, industry, and healthcare is back injuries which can be reduced by proper lifting techniques and back safety training.
Preventing a back injury is much easier than repairing one–thus the need for Back Safety training is so instrumental in reducing costly injuries. Because your back is critically important to your ability to walk, sit, stand, and run, it’s important to take care of it.
