1. Use proper lifting technique: Bend at the knees, not at the waist, and keep your back straight while lifting the item. This will help prevent strain on your back muscles.
2. Assess the weight of the item: Before lifting, make sure you can safely handle the weight of the item. If it is too heavy, ask for help or use equipment such as a dolly or forklift.
3. Clear the path: Make sure the area around the item is clear of obstacles or tripping hazards. This will help prevent accidents while lifting and carrying the item.
4. Use proper equipment: If the item is too heavy or awkward to lift on your own, use lifting equipment such as a hand truck, pallet jack, or lifting straps to help move the item safely.

1. Plan the Lift: Assess the weight, size, and shape of the item. Determine the safest way to lift and if assistance is necessary. 2. Proper Body Position: Position your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, and back straight. Keep your head up and shoulders relaxed. 3. Use Leg Power: Lift by bending your knees and hips, pushing up with your legs. Avoid lifting with your back. 4. Maintain Neutral Spine: Keep your spine in a neutral position, avoiding excessive bending or twisting. Hold the item close to your body for stability.
