Proper Lifting Technique to Prevent Back Injury | Ergonomics Guide #3001367 (License: Personal Use)

The illustration depicts a woman in business-casual attire (blue blouse, green skirt, black heels) lifting a beige bucket while bending forward at the waist, causing acute back pain as shown by black lightning-bolt symbols near her lower spine. Her posture demonstrates a common ergonomic mistake: using the back instead of leg muscles to lift weight. This visual serves as a cautionary example in workplace safety and physical therapy education.

Used in occupational health guides, ergonomic training materials, physical therapy websites, and workplace safety posters to illustrate improper lifting technique and promote injury prevention. Matches user intent for learning safe body mechanics or identifying causes of back pain.
