SAFE LIFTING PROCEDURES <br />Preserve your back health by using the following lifting strategies: <br />• Before lifting a load, think of other means of moving it using a device that can help you to <br />pull, push or roll the load. <br />• Have firm footing and make sure the standing surface that you are on is not slippery. <br />• Determine the best way to hold the load using handles, gripping areas or special lifting tools. <br />Get a firm grip on the load. <br />• Keep your back straight by tucking your chin in. <br />• Tighten your stomach muscles and lift with your legs. <br />• Lift the load slowly. <br />• Hold the load as close to the body as possible; be sure you position the load close to the body <br />before lifting. <br />• Do not twist during your lift or when moving the load. Turn with your feet rather than your <br />back. <br />• Set the load down gently, using your legs and keeping your back as straight as possible. <br />• Be sure your fingers are out of the way when putting the load down and when moving the <br />load through tight spaces. <br />• Ask for help if you need it and use lifting tools and devices whenever they are available. <br />04/25/16 PDFConvert. 10733. 1.
