There's A Right Way TO DO THAT LIFTING JOB 06» ■r'l’ i Many workers have been injured because they either didn’t know how' to lift properly or they didn’t use the Safe Method. The posed photos on these pages show some suggested ways of lifting along with some related ways of how not to lift. Above left: DO use a hand truck or a fork-lift truck for transporting items too heavy to carry. Above: DON'T risk hernia and backstrain by at tempting to lift or carry a load that is even slightly beyond your physical ability. DO bend your knees and let your leg muscles, in stead of the back muscles, do the work when you reach down to lift any item from a low level. DON'T risk straining your back when picking up an item by bending over from the waist in the manner shown in the above photograph. 16
