safe lifting
Injury-free cargo handling
Safe lifting refers to techniques for picking up and carrying heavy objects without injuring yourself, especially the back.
The core principle is using leg muscles rather than back muscles: bend at the knees, keep the load close to your body, and avoid twisting while lifting.
Workplace safety training emphasizes safe lifting practices: Always use safe lifting techniques when moving boxes.
