By the end of this training, you will be equipped to foster a culture of safety that protects your team and ensures your municipality remains compliant with state standards.

Wisconsin Regulatory Standards: Understanding the specific DSPS requirements that govern public sector employees in our state. Exposure Control Plans: How to implement and maintain an effective plan tailored to your department's specific needs.

Back pain is one of the most common—and preventable—injuries in the workplace. In local government, where employees lift, bend, reach, and sit for long periods, the risk of strain and injury can be especially high.

This course will guide you through practical strategies to prevent back injuries before they happen. You’ll learn how to recognize risk factors, use proper lifting and movement techniques, and make small adjustments that have a big impact on long-term health and safety.
