🔍 Key Concepts

• Proper lifting technique to avoid back injury • Which body parts should do most of the work when lifting a heavy object • How to keep your spine safe when handling loads

💭 Think About

• Which position keeps your back as straight and natural as possible while lifting? • Should the power come more from your back or from your legs and hips? • Which choice sounds most like the safe manual-handling training you would give to prevent long-term injuries?

✅ Before You Answer

• Look for the option that protects the lower back rather than stressing it • Check which option has the lifter bending at the knees and hips, not at the waist • Eliminate any option that suggests rounding, arching, or stooping the back while lifting
