Back Belts

Back belts have not been proven effective in reducing back pain and back injury. Back belts are not considered personal protective equipment by OSHA and are not covered by existing regulations. The Office of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) does not recommend the use of back belts and departments and supervisors should not provide back belts to employees.
