Others have sought to address the problem of back injuries through a variety of products. The most widely known among these are back belts.
NIOSH conducted a study of back belts to determine whether they help reduce back injuries and found that although back belts are being bought and sold under the premise that they reduce the risk of back injury, "there is insufficient scientific evidence that back belts actually deliver what is promised." NIOSH therefore, "does not recommend the use of back belts" to prevent injuries among workers who have never been injured.
NIOSH reports "If you or your workers are wearing back belts as protective equipment against back injury, you should be aware of the lack of scientific evidence supporting their use." – NIOSH Pamphlet Back Belts: Do They Prevent Injury (1997)
