When handling exceptionally heavy items, consider working together with your colleagues. Teamwork not only simplifies the task but also lowers the risk of injuries for everyone involved.
Keep your posture upright when pushing or pulling heavy objects. Leverage your body weight and leg muscles to apply the required force.
When handling heavier objects, consider bending your knees to bring yourself closer to the object's height while maintaining a straight back. This approach helps minimise strain on your back muscles.
