Safety Tip: Safe Lifting & Material Handling
Manual lifting can lead to strains, sprains, pinch-point injuries, and falls. Before moving materials, take a few seconds to assess the lift.
* Plan your path before lifting.
* Use equipment whenever possible.
* Know your limits and ask for help.
* Communicate when lifting as a team.
* Keep hands clear of pinch points.
* Never rush a lift.
Think before you lift. A few extra seconds of planning can prevent an injury.
