Proper Body Mechanics
This is just a reminder to always use proper body mechanics when moving, lifting, pushing, pulling, bending, etc. When lifting, be sure to squat down, bring item close to your body, lift with your legs and maintain good posture. If something is too heavy to lift, don't lift it. It isn't worth it.
Avoid bending over to place items on the ground. Instead of bending at the waist, bend your knees and use your legs - not your back. Don't be afraid to ask for assistance. It is better to be safe than sorry.
