Proper Lifting in the Workplace - HGR
Lifting may be one of the requirements of the position your are in. Safely knowing how to lift without injuring yourself is valuable and can prevent many injuries. Good posture and lifting with your legs are commonly known, but what about the path you are carrying an item? How long will you be carrying it and will you need to rest? Can I use something mechanical to lift instead? Knowing what you can lift is different from knowing what you can safely lift. Think about it.
