Whether you lift every day or occasionally, knowing how to do it properly can reduce your chance of hurting your back.
Work with your upper body as close to upright as possible & minimise twisting of the upper body. Make sure you bend from the hips rather than the lower back.
The farther the object is from your body, the greater the strain. Slide objects close to you or step toward them before lifting.
For low work, bend your knees, squat, kneel or consider a longer handled tool.
