Preventing Back Injuries When Lifting Heavy Objects #19783 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white illustration depicts a man in distress while attempting to lift a heavy box, his back arched and face contorted in pain, with lightning bolts symbolizing acute injury. The image emphasizes the dangers of poor lifting form, such as twisting or bending at the waist instead of using leg muscles. It serves as a visual warning for ergonomic training and occupational safety materials.

Used in workplace safety guides, health education resources, physical therapy websites, and OSHA-compliant training modules to illustrate improper lifting and encourage safe practices. Matches user intent for injury prevention, ergonomics, and first-aid guidance.
