The Art of Lifting

Safety Concepts: "The Stagehand’s Axiom has a brilliant philosophy when it comes to lifting, and that is:

“Never lift what you can drag, never drag what you can roll, never roll what you can leave.”

People who hurt their backs often think the injury was a result of that one incident that caused immediate pain. But many back disorders often develop slowly over time as a result of repeated stress. Therefore it is imperative that good lifting practices be made part of the normal day to day procedures."
