LIFTING SAFETY A proper lifting technique is essential to back safety, but proper planning is more important. Before you lift a tool or a piece of equipment, consider what your action is going to be. How heavy is the item you’re going to lift? Will it be easier manually or will it be harder? When you are lifting an item, many times that item could also be lifted with a piece of equipment- a dolly, a handtruck, or a forklift. When using mechanical help, remember that if you push instead of pull, you'll have more control. When fastening, remember to do a good job, so sudden stops or vibrations don’t jar it off. Positioning yourself as close as possible to the load when moving an item from a hard to reach place is safer. While moving the item, watch out for obstructions. Give yourself enough room possible to set the load down. Before lifting, check your path and move any tripping hazards out of the way. Make sure you have enough light to see where you are going. To keep your back safe, you need to exercise, eat right, and stretch as often as possible. Most back injuries can be attributed to one of these five causes: Posture Body Mechanics/Work Habits Stressful Living Loss of Flexibility Poor Conditioning
