Keep a Natural Alignment-Mind Your Head
NO!
•Your body is not a
crane!
•Looking down while
lifting can unbalance you
•Use the legs to lift, not
the back
•While lifting, watch in
front to help keeping a
natural alignment

•Drag the object closer
to you, and then lift it up
•Keep the load as close
to the body as possible
