Safe Lifting

Learn how to safely lift heavy objects while on the job from our Safety Analyst, Austen Schroeder. We use this training video for our Parks employees working out in the field.

[@lateralraj]

I work in a warehouse lifting heavy boxes and pallets throughout the day and realized I was THIS close to seriously injuring myself due to improper lazy lifting form. This video is a godsend of a video instruction manual, Thank You!👍👍🙂

Same, walmart stocking 2.

[@moon83star30]

I appreciated the different workplace scenarios to see how each situation one could apply the proper lifting technique.

[@breezierider449]

An excellent video on safe lifting. I especially liked the reminder about the power zone. Thanks

[@tfd850]

One of the best videos I have seen on proper lifting.

[@mikegreene750]

Really liked the video - good tips! Thank you. I teach this slightly differently: once crouched and balanced close to the object, I suggest lifters DO look down and grip firmly to ensure a secure grip. Then they can reestablish good top-down spinal alignment before bringing the object close and standing.

[@TheKubbas]

This is an insanely good video. Got all the details I needed and left me not confused at all!! Kudos to the team.

[@kellystone4075]

Agree, it is very directive and thats whats need to illustrate to wokers how to mind their back by demonstrating the steps involved to achieve that.

[@TomoMusic]

Will do some lifting job next week. Your video helped me tons. Thank you!

Thank you greatly for this video. I'll put these techniques to use at my work.

[@ferrischan]

Very useful info. Thanks!

[@ItsZilomiii]

This is good for light weight packages but try this in a real working environment. These are just small, easy to carry packages.

[@deanjelbertaustria6174]

You're right.. these are just light weight compared to real working environment like 25kg of plastic resin

[@carleynorthcoast1915]

wouldn't the same technique work?

[@davidvianello5881]

You must use help when needed. Supervisors at work should encourage safety lifting at all times.

So you have to move like a robot to do a correct lift.

[@nickwick35]

it's worth it. I blew out my back at work one day with still 2 hours left in the shift and I could hardly walk. Took like 3 days to get over it.

[@sushimamba4281]

That's why robots never injure their backs.

[@MrWTFish]

@@nickwick35 same happened. Im only 20. Is this something bad? I usually get pain when im lifting

[@mabelw7]

just certain heavy packages

[@mohitkhandelwal4529]

Yeah it worth it I wasted my 6 months to recover from injury now I'm ok after daily exercise..

I need something for heavy lifting. I lay carpet so we're always lifting furniture and carpet rolls. There's no way to lift these kinds of things safely that I've seen.

[@joshthian]

stuff like this should be taught in school

[@breakmanradio2530]

No stratic steching without a warm up. Dynamic stretching is best before exercise/work. Static stretching should be done after exercise/work.

[@tylersmith2242]

Make sure your heals r on the ground. Don't put pressure on your joints. In this case, your knees

Hope this helps when i lift kitchen doors. I get back problems

[@brendanmichel5313]

Thanks

[@jemersondiaz5302]

wow thanks so much! I recently threw out my back and wished I watched this before!

[@MANOJKUMAR-fy5iz]

Manual Handling :Push Before Pulling It is safer to push rather than pull. Keep your back straight and bend your knees. Do not twist at your hips to push, but rather keep your core tight and use your legs and body weight to move the object.

[@WazigeLogica]

And.. I see all these video's about lifting from the ground up. But what if you're taking 40 pound crates out of shelves above shoulder height? What's the best posture to do that while standing in a narrow space in the back of a truck for example? Thanks, anyone, for tips and tricks!

[@sirjamesfancy]

I know comment was 3 years ago but I think the important part is to avoid having your spine leaning forward while weight is applied to it. So if you can stay up straight you should be minimizing damage.

[@sirjamesfancy]

8:56 Does it always take concious effort or can you train yourself to use your legs unconciously with muscle memory?

[@steveo782812]

What if the box of paper is on the ground? How do you do it so easily if you can't easily get your fingers underneath it?

[@joeytoofly5139]

[@geethamurugan3156]

when was this video made??? maybe during early 80's or 90's??

[@maxwellcooper2]

I'd say late 90s or maybe early 00's. These kinds of educational videos always look a bit dated regardless of when they were produced. The styles of the people in the vid are not really 80s or early 90s.

[@summertime11413]

What if you have damaged cracking knees .... You cannot stoop like that😢

[@zxwmabcdef5439]

Even if something small is 300 lbs its really not very heavy. You just need to get some good leverage on it.

[@zxwmabcdef5439]

There is an easier way. If you stick your legs way out and grab it between your legs you can get some good leverage.

[@Insight5504]

Can someone show me anything scientific that says stretching before hand is beneficial? All recent studies show there is no decrease in injuries when a person stretches before physical exertion. In fact studies show that stretching afterwards is more beneficial than stretching before hand. Anyways putting out old dated information is irresponsible and will lead to someone getting hurt. The very thing this video claims to want to prevent

I am sorry, these are bad examples of lifting, poor instruction, lifting away from the body core increasing risk of injury. This is not realistic and our dated training.
