摘要

BackgroundLow back pain (LBP) is a major concern among North American workplaces and little is known regarding a supervisors decision to support job accommodation for workers with LBP. The extent to which supervisors are included in a company’s effort to institute disability management policies and practices and workplace safety climate are two factors that may influence a supervisor’s decision to accommodate workers with LBP.
