Lifting boxes without hurting your back

Video transcript

Meet Benny in the warehouse, moving delivery boxes from the floor onto a sorting bench.

Wrong: Benny lifts a bulky box alone without checking its weight or whether equipment is needed.

Wrong: he holds the box away from his body, making the load much harder to control.

Wrong: he twists his back towards the bench while his feet stay planted on the floor.

The box could slip, leaving an unstable load and loose items scattered across the walking route.

Check one: assess the load and route first; use a suitable lifting aid or get help when needed.

Check two: keep the load close, with a secure grip and stable stance; move smoothly without jerking.

Check three: turn by moving your feet, keeping the load close rather than twisting your back.

Before lifting, is it assess the load, rush the lift, or twist your back? Three, two, one.

Assess the load first. If it is awkward, unstable, or too heavy, use suitable equipment or help.

Assess before lifting. Keep loads close. Turn your feet.
