Abstract
It is time for nurses to take an active role in the prevention of disability from back disorders. A systematic program with a strong emphasis on ergonomics is proposed as an effective approach. Multidisciplinary participation is essential for success. Although it is not realistic to hope that by reading this article nurses will become experts in ergonomics, it is reasonable to hope that nurses' awareness of ergonomic risk factors will be heightened and that this awareness will motivate nurses to start requesting and making positive changes.
