June 3rd Proper Lifting

Safety Topic: Watch Proper Lifting Video 

Safety Activity: Practice Proper Lifting

Keep your back as vertical as possible.
Keep the load close to you.
Straighten your back in and raise up with your head first.
Never jerk or twist your body – If you must turn; turn with your feet, not your body.
When lowering your load, bend with the knees and keep the back straight.
Wear shoes with non-slip soles.
Remember to follow these rules of lifting and you will give your back a break rather than breaking your back.
Remember: The only thing you’ll prove by lifting more than you should is that your back is a poor substitute for a forklift. Think before you lift — every time. 

Reference:

Frequency: Initial and as needed.
