Lift without getting hurt

1.  First you need to figure out if you really can lift this object by yourself.  Some things are too big to pick up alone.  So squat down at the knees without leaning over, and try to lift a few inches off the ground.  

2.  Now you can move to the next step.   Place you feet shoulder width apart and stand right in front of the object.

3.  Remember staying straight and not bending over is important in this next step.  Next you need to bend down keeping you back perfectly strait along with the rest of you upper body. Only your legs should bend.
 
4. Finally you can lift the object all the way up.  Do not begin to move the object until you are perfectly straight and sure you have a good grip.  This will ensure you do not hurt your back.

Items to assist in lifting:
  • Second helper
  • Steel toed shoes
  • A back brace.
