- Never lift items that are too heavy for you
- When possible, seek the help of others when lifting items
- Never use tools or machinery you are unfamiliar with
- Use proper lifting technique, such as bending your knees to lift
- Use caution when reaching up shelves or similar objects to retrieve items
These simple steps can help reduce the risk of a serious back injury. Unfortunately, accidents can still occur even when you take proper safety measures.
