WEEKLY SAFETY TIP
Lifting Use proper lifting techniques to avoid back injuries. Safe lifting involves: Standing as close to the load as possible
Planting your feet shoulder-width apart with one foot slightly ahead of the other Bending at the hips and knees only until you're deep in a squatting position Keeping your head up and straight with your shoulders back to keep your back straight Holding the load close to your body at waist height Engaging your core muscles as you push against the ground Here are a few essential don'ts to keep in mind for good lifting ergonomics: Never twist your torso while lifting. Stay "nose between your toes." Never lift a heavy item above shoulder level. Never carry a load that obstructs your vision. Never hold your breath while lifting, moving, and setting the load down.
