To reduce and/or prevent back injuries, follow the eight rules of safe lifting practices:
1. Keep your back straight.
2. Keep the load close to your body.
3. Use your legs to lift. Bend your knees, not your waist.
4. Don't twist when lifting.
5. Think about the lift. What will make the lift safe? The greatest cause of back injuries is habit.
Most workers lift incorrectly because they do not consciously think about lifting.
6. Test the weight of the object to be lifted. Can it be handled safely?
7. Supervise safe lifting practices to break bad lifting habits.
8. Use mechanical or ergonomic devices if lifts are frequent. Devices that minimize the number
of lifts, the lifting distance and the lifting load weight include conveyors, hoists, forklifts,
adjustable pallet lifts and lift assists.
