Proper Lifting Is
Up To You
By S. T. ANDERSON,
Superintendent, Bedspread Mill
Knowing how to
lift properly and put
ting that knowledge
to use is the respon
sibility of the em
ployee. There is no
mystery about lifting
and it is not difficult
to learn how to lift
so that injury is
avoided.
On the contrary,
S. T. Anderson considerable effort
has been made by supervisors in proper
training, through posters and other
reminders to make sure that everyone
understands the techniques of safe lift
ing and carrying.
Therefore, it would seem that when
a lifting injury occurs it must be due
to something other than lack of know
ledge and understanding of safe lifting
principles. It may be due to careless
ness or haste, an overestimation of
one’s strength and ability, or failure to
recognize unusual conditions.
Regardless of how, when, or where
a worker is injured through improper
lifting, it usually is a matter only with
in the control of the employee and
sometimes reflects on his judgement
and ability to anticipate injury-pro
ducing conditions.
If you want to avoid lifting injuries,
accept it as a personal responsibility to
develop and practice safe lifting habits,
AND DO IT EVERY DAY!
