Know Your Personal Limits!
Seek Help When You Need It

Lift or move only what you're comfortable moving.

When handling heavy materials, always plan each move with your supervisor.

Use mechanical help such as lift trucks, hoists or come-alongs when moving heavy material.

When lifting, never extend your elbow past your body...or you'll be out of the safe lifting zone.

Make sure to lift correctly. Don't curve your back. Keep your face up. To maintain balance, always put one foot in the direction of the lift.
