7 Steps to Safe Lifting - Base Movement
1st Assess the load – can you lift it safely? 2nd Place your feet at ten-to-two 3rd BEND you knees 4th Back - KEEP IT STRAIGHT & UPRIGHT 5th Neck & head – keep your chin up. 6th Grip – “front knee, high hand, far corner” and “back knee, low hand, near corner”. 7th Load - hold it in close to your pelvis. Remember – use these good principles for lifting in different situations and don’t stick blindly to rules and procedures

Points to remember: Practicing good lifting technique does not enable you to lift more than you could before. It means that, whatever your individual capabilities, your chances of injury are reduced. Good technique is just one of a number of control measures, within the hierarchy of control, that the employer has to put in place to reduce manual handling risks; it is not a panacea. This is about a cultural change, about not accepting practices because that’s the way they’ve always been done.
