Manual Handling & Ergonomics: Lift Smart, Stay Safe

Incorrect lifting and poor posture are major causes of back pain, strains, and musculoskeletal disorders at work. By learning the right manual handling and ergonomics practices, you can protect your body, avoid injuries, and stay healthy for life.

✅ Manual Handling Safety Tips:

Plan before lifting – Check the load and your path.

Keep a stable stance – Feet shoulder-width apart for balance.

Bend your knees, not your back – Use your legs to lift.

Keep the load close – Reduce strain on your back and arms.

Avoid twisting – Move your feet, not your torso.

Ask for help – Use team lifting or mechanical aids.

Know your limits – Don’t overexert yourself.

🔹 Ergonomics Tip:
Adjust your workstation, tools, and posture to reduce repetitive strain. Small changes can prevent long-term injuries.

👉 Remember: Safe lifting isn’t just about following rules — it’s about protecting your lifelong health and mobility.
