Prequiz: How Much Do You Know?
To prevent back injuries when lifting, you should lift with your leg muscles, not your back muscles.
The safest place for pedestrians to be in relation to a forklift is walking right alongside.
It’s less stressful for your back to pull hand trucks and pallet jacks rather than push them.
You should always stabilize pallet loads by interlocking, wrapping, or strapping them.
