Step 1. Stand close to the load with your feet

spread apart about shoulder width, with

one foot slightly in front of the other for

balance.

Step 2. Squat down bending at the knees (not your

waist). Tuck your chin while keeping your

back as vertical as possible.

Step 3. Get a firm grasp of the object before be-

ginning the lift. Begin slowly lifting with

your LEGS by straightening them. Never

twist your body during this step.

Step 4. Once the lift is complete, keep the object

as close to the body as possible. As the

load’s center of gravity moves away from

the body, there is a dramatic increase in

stress to the lumbar region of the back.

Step 5. If you must turn while carrying the load,

turn using your feet-not your torso. To

place the object below the level of your

waist, follow the same procedures in re-

verse order. Remember, keep your back

as vertical as possible and bend at the

knees.

Lifting the Equipment

CAUTION

Take care when lifting the

equipment. We recommend

using a mechanical lift device

to assist.

How to Lift Safely

• Before lifting, take a moment to think about what

you’re about to do.

• Examine the object for sharp corners, slippery spots

or other potential hazards. Know your limit and don’t

try to exceed it.

• Ask for help if needed, or if possible, divide the load

to make it lighter.

• Know where you are going to set the item down, and

make sure it and your path are free of obstructions.
