Stand close to the load with your feet hip-width apart and one foot slightly in front of the other. Keep your back straight, bend your knees, and use your leg muscles to lift the load, not your back. Avoid twisting or turning your body while lifting or carrying the load.
Keep the heaviest side of the load next to your body. If you cant get close to the load, try to slide it towards your body before you try to lift it. Adopt a stable position. Your feet should be apart with one leg in front of the other (alongside the load if it is on the ground) to increase stability.
Manual handling means transporting or supporting a load by hand or bodily force. It includes lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, moving or carrying a load.
The 5 Ps or 5 Manual Handling Principles to avoid injury that we refer to are summarised as follows; Plan plan your lift adequately. Position centre the body feet correctly. Pick lift item using good posture. Proceed move toward desired location. Place set object down safely.
How to handle and lift loads Think before handling/lifting. Keep the load close to your waist for as long as possible while lifting. Adopt a stable position. Dont flex your back any further while lifting. Avoid twisting your back or leaning sideways especially while your back is bent. Keep your head up when handling.
