Backpack Safety

With school getting ready to start again here are a few helpful tips to insure that your kids know how to safely use their backpack in order to promote spinal health.

  • Step 1: Choose Right
    Choosing the right size backpack is the most important step to safe backpack use.
    Tip: Have a friend to help you measure for your backpack properly.
  • Step 2: Pack Right
    The maximum weight of the loaded backpack should not exceed 15 % of your body weight, so pack only what is needed.
    Tip: If the backpack forces the wearer to move forward to carry, it's overloaded.
  • Step 3: Lift Right
    Face the Pack -Bend at the Knees - Use both hands and check the weight of the pack. - Lift with the legs - Apply one shoulder strap and then the other.
    Tip: Don't sling the backpack onto one shoulder.
  • Step 4: Wear Right
    Use both shoulder straps - snug, but not too tight.
    Tip: When the backpack has a waist strap - use it.
