Chuck stands with his feet close to the load, shoulder-width apart, one foot slightly in front of the other for balance. He squats down, bending at the knees and keeping his back as vertical as possible. Once he's close enough, Chuck makes sure he has a firm grasp of the object before beginning the lift, slowly straightening his legs and lifting slowly. He stands up straight and keeps his load close to his body. Is Chuck using a safe lifting technique?
