Proper Lifting Techniques

Recently for my class project my group and I learned about proper lifting techniques, and we thought that it might be interesting to have our friend show and address techniques for properly lifting a heavy box.

BAD Body Mechanic

• Excessively bending the back
• Picking up the box far away from the body
• Looking down on the floor

GOOD Body Mechanic 

• Having the box closer to the body
• Looking up
• Knees bent
• Back straight
• Feet is wide apart
• Lifting with the legs and NOT with the back

Hope you guys enjoyed this small piece of tip! -Stacy Pan
