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.

Frequency: Initial and as needed.
