Back Safety and Lifting Training Audit Form
by Aaron Turner, from the Community
This employee training and audit checklist focuses on back safety and proper lifting, with emphasis on construction job sites and heavy equipment operators. It outlines common causes of back injuries, OSHA considerations, and core lifting steps such as sizing up loads, planning the path, bending knees, maintaining a solid handhold, and lifting with the legs. The audit section verifies completion of ergonomic training, assessment of load size and weight, correct body mechanics, holding loads close, avoiding twisting, and safe placement. Use it to train teams, standardize techniques, and reduce injuries and lost time.
