lifting techniques

Lifting techniques involve using proper body mechanics to safely lift and move objects, reducing the risk of injury. Stand close to the object, with feet shoulder-width apart for stability. Bend at the hips and knees, not the waist, keeping your back straight. Grip the object firmly, then use your leg muscles to straighten your legs and lift smoothly, avoiding twisting your torso. Keep the object close to your body and look forward. When lowering, reverse the movement by bending your knees and hips. These techniques help distribute weight evenly and minimize strain on your back.
