Correct posture of carrying heavy objects

The correct posture for carrying heavy objects is: squat down and pick up objects with your hands. After picking it up, let the object cling to your chest, because the closer you are, the less strength you need and it is not easy to fall. Try to keep your body upright when handling.

1, first separate your legs, one leg leans forward slightly, then squat down, straighten your waist and tighten your abdomen.

2. Then lift the heavy object smoothly, get up slowly, and put the center of gravity of the object as close as possible to the body.

3. Keep your back straight when moving things. Even if the object is heavy, try to bend your legs and don't bend over.

In the action of lifting heavy objects, the muscles of the whole body will participate. Among them, the strength borne by the waist is particularly great. According to the principle of static balance, when lifting an object with a weight of 25% of the body weight, the pressure on the second lumbar vertebra is about 4 times of the body weight, and the burden on the waist can be seen. Therefore, in the face of overweight objects in life, if you can move in other ways, try not to be brave and move by hand to avoid accidents.

Matters needing attention when handling heavy objects

1, use big joints, put heavy objects close to your body, and keep your waist upright.

2, according to the shape of the object being transported, choose whether to use auxiliary tools, such as ropes, bags, carts, etc.

3. When handling irregular objects such as flour and rice, it is recommended to pick up heavy objects or use tools such as trolleys to avoid lifting and handling, and to avoid repeatedly exerting force on a limb or small joint.

4. Do what you can, and carry it with small weight and many times, instead of big weight, few times and long time.

5. Warm-up activities before handling can reduce the occurrence of physical injuries.
