The wrong way – This is commonly done by bending the back and keeping the leg muscles straight. A sure way to cause strain to the spine and stomach, resulting in either back injury or rupture – or even both!!
The right way – The muscles in the legs being much stronger, should always be used – remember the following points:
9.1 Keep the back straight.
9.2 Bend the knees to get down on the load.
9.3 Position your feet correctly. They should be slightly apart, with one foot balanced slightly in front of the other to ensure proper balance.
9.4 Hold the object correctly. Never try using just your fingertips, but use the whole of the fingers and the palms of your hands.
9.5 When lifting and carrying, always pull the load into your body and keep your elbows into your sides.
9.6 Lift the load by straightening your legs. By tucking your chin in You assist in straightening your neck and back – this should be done prior to commencing the lift.
These principles also apply when depositing a heavy load on the ground and should be applied to pulling / pushing anything.
