Power Carrying Tips:
Your Checklist
• Make sure your footing is firm.
• Ensure enough clearance at doorways to keep your hands and fingers safe.
• Check your route for hazards.
• Take extra care at platforms, loading docks, ramps, and stairs.
• Carry long loads on your shoulders, with front end high.
• Make sure the next person has a firm grip before you hand off the load.
• When you carry with others, everyone should carry the load on the same shoulder, walk in step, and put the load down as a team.
Back Safety Tips
• Wear the right personal protective equipment for lifting and carrying.
• Lift with your legs, not your back; pivot, don't twist.
• Get help with tough lifting jobs.
• Spend a few minutes each day before work on power warm-ups.
• Exercise regularly to keep your back strong and healthy.
• Eat right, stay slender, and cut down on stress to avoid back injuries.
