An unbalanced tool belt is a pain in the back
Balanced tool belts can start your back off in the right
position
Good posture from a Balanced
tool belt
Good standing posture means keeping your body in a straight line
from the top of your head through the centre of your body to the bottom of your
feet. A tool belt can alter that alignment and cause back pain. For convenience,
you might place tools on one side of your tool belt for easy access by your
dominant hand. As a result, your tool belt becomes significantly heavier on one
side compared to the other. This can pull your back out of alignment.
Continual use of an unbalanced tool belt can cause the muscles on one side of
your back to work harder. This is a common cause of back pain.
The average tool belt weighs 5 to 8 kg (15 to 20 lb.). If the weight of your
tools is unbalanced on your tool belt, your spine is loaded in an awkward manner
even before you start to bend, reach, or lift. Your back takes enough stress on
the construction site.
Why add to that stress when you strap on your tool belt at the beginning of
the day?
Tool belt tips for reducing the risk of back pain
• Balance your tool belt —
if your tools are heavier on one side, fill the other side with materials, such
as nails, bolts, or other tools, that will balance the load.
• Use broad-strapped
suspenders that allow the muscles in your upper back and shoulders to bear some
of the tool belt load.
• Minimize what you carry
in your tool belt — evaluate what you carry. Store infrequently used items
elsewhere, or use them to balance your tool belt.
• During breaks, remove
your tool belt to relieve your back of the load. Following these tips allows
your spine to maintain good posture while supporting your tools.
