Posted By Chris Pope Neil At least you are unlikely to get bored by your presentation: its usually best to be critical yourself as most adult trainees are far too polite to say "great theory; what about the practice" Some of the points I make are: Possibly you as an individual are just not comfortable sitting properly, lifting properly etc, but the real point of the training is to make you think how you can adapt general principles to suit your own tasks. Draw a cross section thro the "disc" and establish the cumulative nature of injuries. Get hold of the catering for backs video from backcare Emphasis the disadvantages of rushing, jerking etc. Using fire extinguishers as door props etc. How ambulance personnel approach lifting from toilet cubicles etc. Use the figures in the old agricultral lifting order from the 1950s and the TV handling prosecution where the risk assessment produced by the employer was exceeded in practice Chris
