Detailed explanation-1: -Bend your hips and knees to squat down to your load, keep it close to your body, and straighten your legs to lift. Never lift a heavy object above shoulder level. Avoid turning or twisting your body while lifting or holding a heavy object.
Detailed explanation-2: -When lifting an object from the floor, stand close to the object. Don’t lift from a standing position with your waist bent or your knees locked. One option for proper lifting is to kneel, resting one knee on the floor.
Detailed explanation-3: -Your feet should be apart with one leg in front of the other (alongside the load if it is on the ground) to increase stability. You should be prepared to move your feet during the lift to keep a stable posture. Wearing overtight clothing or unsuitable footwear may make this difficult. Ensure a good hold on the load.
