Overview
Identifying high risk groups for trauma and disk herniation and educating them about adequate safety and preventive measures helps in prevention of cord compression.
Primary Prevention
Identifying high risk groups for trauma and disk herniation and educating them about adequate safety and preventive measures such as [1]
- Teaching proper lifting techniques of heavy machinery
- Preplacement strength testing and physical examination as a screening method
- Reducing the physical demands of work through the systemic work design at the workplace.
- The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) developed a lifting equation which was revised in 1991 in an attempt to determine recommended weight limits for workers
