Notes de l'éditeur
- Sprains and strains are the most common cause of back pain. Improper lifting of moderate to heavy objects, falling, auto accidents, and sports activities can injure your back. But of these, lifting improperly is the largest single cause of back pain injuries. Luckily, you can do something about preventing back pain by knowing and using proper lifting techniques. Not only does industry lose but you lose if you are laid up unable to work.

- Examine & test… Weight, sharp edges, awkward shapes, stability of the load, Plan the job… Safe system of work, route free of hazards, no where the load is going, plan rest stops!! Get a good grip… How you are going to hold the object, protect hands and feet by grasping the load firmly, wear good fitting gloves. Get help… Use of mechanical aids if you are in any doubt. Wear… the equipment Rest frequently… avoid becoming over tired Talk… discuss problems Lift… Get comfortable, lift smoothly keeping the load close to the body, avoid twisting, move your feet.
- Think before doing anything Stand as close to the load a possible Bend your knees and keep your back natural line Grasp the load firmly Raise your head as you start to lift Lift with your legs, keep balanced, move your feet Hold the load close to your body
- Keep the load close, take advantage of your body Keep your arms tucked in to prevent injury or fatigue to your neck or shoulder muscles Don’t change your grip unless the weight is supported Avoid twisting your body, stooping, bending or leaning back. If you must change direction, move your feet instead Don’t block your vision by carrying too large a load. Use mechanical help Face the spot the load will rest on by turning your feet and whole body in that direction
- Bend your knees to lower the load. Keep your back straight and the load close to your body Slide the load into tight spaces – it’s easier and safer than trying to lift it Be careful with fingers and toes. Allow enough room for them when the load is set down Place the load on a bench etc by resting it on the edge and pushing it forward with your arms and body Be sure the load is secure wherever you place it. Make certain it won’t fall, tip over, roll or block someone’s way
- Poor posture Whether you’re standing, sitting, or reclining, posture affects the amount of strain on your back. The wrong posture increases strain put on the back muscles and may bend the spine into positions that will cause trouble. When standing correctly, the spine has a natural “S” curve. The shoulders are back and the “S” curve is directly over the pelvis. Poor physical Your physical condition can lead to back pain. If you’re over weight, and especially if you have developed a potbelly, extra strain on your spine results. An estimate is that every extra pound up front puts 10 pounds of strain on your back. Repetitive trauma People often think that back injuries result from lifting heavy or awkward objects. Many back injuries do not come from a single lift, but occur from relatively minor strains over time. Back injuries, as with other cumulative trauma disorders (CTD), may arise from repeated trauma. As you repeat a particular irritating movement, the minor injuries began to accumulate and weaken affected muscles or ligaments. Eventually a more serious injury occurs.

- These are not a good idea. BUT, if they cannot be avoided Brace your body with the opposite arm, if possible Reach for the load – bend your knees and waist, keep your back straight Grasp the load firmly, use handle if available. Lift with your legs, using free arm for balance Keep your shoulders level – switch hands regularly Divide the load if possible Team lifts Work with someone of similar build and height if possible Choose one person to call the signals Lift from the hips at the same time, then raise the load to the desired height Move slowly and in unison
- Stand over one corner of the load with your feet comfortable Grasp the bottom inside and top outside corners Bend your knees and lift, keeping the same grip Seek advice if you have doubts Lighten the load if possible Stand on something sturdy Use a mechanical aid or get help Test the loads weight by pushing up on it Check to make sure there is nothing on the top Stand as close to the load as possible Grasp the object firmly, sliding it down your body Use mechanical aids or get help if necessary
- Stay close to the object Get a good grip on it Keep your back straight, stomach in, knees bent, elbows in Lean in the direction you’re pushing or pulling Watch out for obstructions Keep the strain off your back Let your body’s weight and leg muscles do the work for you
