EarthLifter Helps Reduce On-The-Job Injuries

Has your company had a back injury in the past? You are not alone. According to the Workers Compensation Insurance Rating Bureau, from 2012-2017 over a quarter of a billion dollars in back injury claims, on behalf of the landscape industry, was paid out by carriers in California. The back claim is by far the most costly injury at $22,000 over that period and the second highest in terms of frequency (behind hand, wrist and finger injuries), and the leading claim resulting in an employee's time away from work.

Are you doing anything to protect the backs of your employees? Would it be worth a modest investment to mitigate this exposure? The EarthLifter Tool can help reduce back & spinal injuries because of its patented rolling fulcrum design and its additional length over typical border forks. Worker's posture using The EarthLifter allows them to achieve optimal spinal alignment.  Observe how straight this worker's back is as he pushes DOWN to LIFT UP soil.
