Steps Of Proper Lifting
Start in the best position
Before you lift a load, think through your task. Decide where you'll place theload and how you'll get it there. If an object is too heavy, get some help.When you're lifting an object from the floor, don't lift from a standing positionwith your waist bent and your knees locked. Instead, plant your feet firmlyon the ground, standing as close to the load as possible. Then kneel down,resting one knee on the ground.
 
Steps Of Proper Lifting
Keep your back straight
Lift the object from between your legs and holdit close to your body. You can rest it on your knee or use momentum to assist you the restof the way up.
