Correct Feet PositionAssume a well balance position facing the
direction you intend to move the load. The feet should be parted
with one foot alongside the object to be lifted and one behind, the
feet comfortably spread gives greater stability and the rear foot
is in position for the upward thrust of the liftThe hold must be
secure and comfortable, use palms of hands and not finger tips. For
objects such as boxes, hold diagonally opposite corners. Move in
close to the load with arms and elbows tucked in.Bend at the knees
and keep the back straight. But remember that straight does not
mean vertical. A straight back keeps the spine, back muscles and
body organ in correct alignmentKeep the head raised and chin in so
the neck and head continue the straight back line. Tucking in the
chin helps keep the spine straight and firmLeg muscles are stronger
that back muscles, use them to lift the load. Do not jerk or
strain, use a smooth action.Start the lift with a thrust from the
rear foot and follow through with the body when possible. Use of
body weight helps to propel the load, reduces fatigue and strain on
the armsFirm hold with PalmStraight Flat BackHead Raise, Chin
