Summary: The objective of this study was to determine whether advice and training on working techniques and lifting equipment prevent back pain in jobs that involve heavy lifting. The results of this study revealed that there is no evidence to support use of advice or training in working techniques with or without lifting equipment for preventing back pain or consequent disability. The findings challenge current widespread practice of advising workers on correct lifting technique.
