This post would not be complete without first acknowledging the incredible people who are on the frontlines of the Coronavirus Pandemic. We thank you and appreciate your incredible commitment to the safety, health, and wellbeing of those around you.
The world has changed.
A strain of coronavirus — a barely-alive, microscopic strand of genetic material, covered by a protein shell — has altered how we interact with one another, and how we conduct ourselves, both in public and at home.
The theme of this blog post is: Now, More Than Ever. Because the urgency to keep our workforce safe and healthy has never been greater. And as both the pace of work and the workload itself ramp up suddenly, as it has in recent weeks, the probability of injury increases at an alarming rate.
Now, More Than Ever…
… it’s crucial to train your workers to protect themselves.
It sometimes feels as though the coronavirus pandemic is holding life hostage.
But the world has to keep moving. The demands imposed by the requirements and necessities of life don’t stop because of a microbe. In fact, because of challenges to production and supple lines, more people are working jobs that require them to move and lift materials, so the chance for injury is higher than ever.
Training such as PowerLift® works with you and your workforce to help you reduce your workforce injury incidents low. Training protects people. Now, more than ever, a healthy, safe workforce is key to moving through this global crisis.
…effective safety training is vital for the health and wellbeing of the workforce.
Ask yourself: with social distancing, are you and your employees able to carry out their material handling duties and tasks effectively and safely?
Are your workers empowered to coach and support each other to prevent musculoskeletal injuries while on the job?
If you cannot immediately answer, ‘yes,’ the time to consider training them to protect themselves against injury is now. Waiting is no longer a viable option. In the age of the pandemic, waiting to train your workers is simply not a sustainable practice..

… safety really is everyone’s business.
If safety isn’t baked into the culture of your organization, now is the time to make that shift. Maybe it used to be merely ‘important.’ But in the midst of the global pandemic, safe material handling training is no longer ‘important.’ It’s now ‘urgent.’ Train your workers to lift, bend, reach and move safely and effectively. Do what you must do to protect your employees against illness. And then take the step to protect them against injury as well.
PowerLift® Training provides the kind of training that makes the difference. A major component of PowerLift® is Train the Trainer. Employees from all levels of the company are trained and certified in PowerLift® methods and principles. They then become coaches and trainers for their peers. Where workers encounter PowerLift®, safety quickly becomes a value.
These days the phrase, we’ll get through this together is heard a lot. Now, more than ever, a workplace where safety is everyone’s business is so much more than just a nice idea: it’s the key to success.
PowerLift® Training trains people to do their jobs safely and effectively.
