Lifting Heavy Objects
1. Get as close to the weight as possible.
2. Keep feet wide apart to improve stability.
3. Bend from the hips and knees not from the waist, maintaining
the natural curve of the lower back.
4. Tighten the lower abdominal muscles drawing the navel in
against the spine. This helps to support the spine.
5. Don't lift and twist. Move the feet rather than twisting from the torso.
6. Don't lift after sitting for extended periods, the ligaments of
the back are stretched and vulnerable to injury.
