CDIM Corporate Safety Program �/P-P M HSP-4. Physical Hazards Management 01/22/2019 • Grasp boxes, cartons, and sacks at the opposite top and bottom corners, drawing the bottom corner between the legs. To lift an object off the ground, use the following method adapted from the National Safety Council's booklet, A New Way to Lift: • Make sure your feet are firmly placed about 10 - 15 inches (25 - 40 cm) apart. Place one foot alongside the object being lifted and one behind (Figure A-10a). • Use the knee-bend or squatting position (Figure A-10b); keep the back straight, but remember that straight does not mean vertical. Tuck in the chin so the neck and head continue the straight back line. • Grasp the object using the palmer grip (Figure A-10c); the fingers and the hand should be extended around the object to be lifted, using the full palm. • Tuck arms and elbows into the side of the body and position the body so that your weight is centered over your feet(Figure A-10d). • Start the lift with a thrust of the rear foot, keeping the object close to your body as you lift with your legs, not with your back (Figure A10e). • Carry the load close to your body -- not on extended arms (Figure A-10f). To turn or change your position, shift your feet-- don't twist your back. • To set an object on the ground, follow this procedure in reverse order. 4.8 Illumination Safety Procedures The following minimum lighting levels will be provided in work areas.
