National Safety Council offers tips on the following:

Power Lifting

Protect Yourself • Use the correct hand protection; wear gloves to prevent cuts.

• Wear safety shoes to prevent injury to your feet from a dropped item.

Size up the Load A. Determine if you can carry a load comfortably; tip it on its side.

B. Get help if the load is too big or bulky for one person.

C. Check for nails, splinters, rough strapping, and rough edges.

Lift It Right • Make sure your footing is solid.

• Keep your back straight, with no curving or slouching.

• Center your body over your feet.

• Get a good grasp on the object and pull it close to you.

• Lift with your legs, not your back.

• Move your feet to turn. Don't twist your back

Tough Lifting Job

Oversized Loads • Don't try to carry a big load alone. Ask for help.

• Work as a team. Lift, walk, and lower the load together.

• Let one person give the directions and direct the lift.

High Loads • Use a step stool or a sturdy ladder to reach loads that are above
your shoulders.

• Get as close as you can to the load.

before you lift.

shoulder, walk in step, and put the load down as a team.

Back Safety Tips
