This manual handling and safe lifting checklist helps workers apply correct techniques to minimize injury. It guides users to assess posture and stability, check walk areas, keep loads close to the body, avoid twisting, and use legs rather than the back. It prompts identification of ways to eliminate or reduce manual handling impacts, such as reducing load weight or mechanizing tasks, and to seek assistance or equipment for heavy items. It also reminds teams of typical safe lifting weight limits.
