Back belt
Back belts, or lumbar support belts, are generally lightweight belts worn around the lower back to provide support to the lumbar. Industrial back belts tend to be similar to weight lifting belts or special belts used in medical rehabilitation therapy.〔("Back Belts" ). Canadian Centre for Occupational Health & Safety. November 10, 2005. Accessed June 22, 2009.〕 Back belts are popular among workers across a number of industries—airline baggage handlers, warehouse workers, grocery clerks, etc.—specifically to prevent lifting injuries.〔("BACK BELTS: Do They Prevent Injury?" ) National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. DHHS (NIOSH) Publication No. 94-127. October 1996. Accessed June 22, 2009.〕
The theory underlying the use of back belts is that the belts reduce forces on the spine, stiffen the spine, or increase intra-abdominal pressure.〔 Research has yet to demonstrate the efficacy of back belts in preventing ergonomic injuries.〔 In some cases, workers expose themselves to greater risk of injury, believing that the back belt is providing extra support and protection.〔
