Don’t Lift Wrong! OSHA Lifting Safety Training That Can Save Your Back | HSE Study

Every year, thousands of U.S. workers suffer lifting-related injuries—most of them totally preventable.
In this powerful 5-minute HSE Study video, Mike breaks down OSHA’s essential lifting safety standards so you can protect your team, prevent injuries, and stay compliant.

You’ll learn how to:
💪 Assess hazards — check load weight, path stability, and crane surroundings before lifting.
🧰 Equip right — use carts, slings, PPE, and inspected rigging gear.
🎓 Train smart — master lifting posture, crane hand signals, and OSHA lockout/tagout basics.

According to OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.176, employers must plan every lift to prevent overexertion and back injuries. The result? Fewer accidents, lower costs, and safer workers.

Real story: Jake, a warehouse worker from Ohio, caught a shifting crane load in time—his OSHA training saved his coworker’s life. That’s what lifting smart really means.
