Strains and sprains aren't just 'part of the job'. The choices we make matter.
Injuries from lifting are usually preventable, and it's the everyday choices – how we lift, whether we ask for help, or if we try to take a shortcut – that can make the biggest difference.
Watch Dave learn the hard way, so you don't have to! And when lifting, remember:
Get help if you need it, especially for heavy or awkward lifts
Bend your knees, not your back, when lifting
Use mechanical aids, like trolleys or forklifts, when needed
