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.
