Step 1. Stand close to the load with your feet
spread apart about shoulder width, with
one foot slightly in front of the other for
balance.
Step 2. Squat down bending at the knees (not your
waist). Tuck your chin while keeping your
back as vertical as possible.
Step 3. Get a firm grasp of the object before be-
ginning the lift. Begin slowly lifting with
your LEGS by straightening them. Never
twist your body during this step.
Step 4. Once the lift is complete, keep the object
as close to the body as possible. As the
load’s center of gravity moves away from
the body, there is a dramatic increase in
stress to the lumbar region of the back.
Step 5. If you must turn while carrying the load,
turn using your feet-not your torso. To
place the object below the level of your
waist, follow the same procedures in re-
verse order. Remember, keep your back
as vertical as possible and bend at the
knees.

How to Lift Safely
• Before lifting, take a moment to think about what
you’re about to do.
• Examine the object for sharp corners, slippery spots
or other potential hazards. Know your limit and don’t
try to exceed it.
• Ask for help if needed, or if possible, divide the load
to make it lighter.
• Know where you are going to set the item down, and
make sure it and your path are free of obstructions.
