DON^T overlook the possibility that foreign articles DO be sure you have a good, sound footing,
may have been left lying carelessly about and are Safety shoes with a non-slip sole are also
waiting to give unsuspecting persons serious falls, good insurance when you have lifting to do.
DO be sure that you have a good grip before at
tempting to lift an object. Also, it’s a good idea to
hold the load close to your body and to be sure that
the hands and fingers are in the clear so they won’t
suffer a smashing when the object is set down.
DONT pick up heavy items with only the
fingertips. A heavy item seems to become
even heavier after carrying in an improper
manner. Many injuries have been caused
by items slipping from an insecure gfip.
DON'T attempt to lift, carry, or even handle, sharp-
edged articles with the hands unprotected. Men in
photo are in danger of experiencing cut fingers.
DO wear gloves when common sense tells
you that they are needed. Men are here using
a proper method of handling sheet metal.
