Mind Your Back When Lifting is one of
two recent additions to the range of
Safety Point safety posters from
Heath Technical Services.Making a
safety point using gentle humour, this
poster points out that Mr Bendy can
snap back into shape after being
distorted but humans can’t. It extols
the virtues of keeping a straight back
and lifting from the legs when
handling large or heavy objects.

A second poster, Don’t be a
Dummy! Take care of your back!,
features back-care advice on
maximum loads, handling unfamiliar
loads, how to turn with a load, how to
lift, and using leg strength.
