By bending our knees when we lift, We have all been told to avoid back injury, keeping the load close and avoiding twisting motions.
Jobs that require you to bend and reach into bins or containers to retrieve or place material.
Raise bins and containers off the floor or tilt them to reduce bending and over-reaching.
When working overhead, stand on steady surface keep your back in its natural curve to avoid uneven spinal loading.
If working on the floor, avoid bending over squat down using your legs and wear cushioned knee pads if you must kneel at work.
Do not hold awkward position for too pause often to stretch and straighten out.
When leaning forward to work, support the weight of your body on your free hand and arm, whenever possible this relieves pressure on your lower back.
Position your work below the shoulder and above the knees to minimize overreaching.
