THE CLOTHMAKER Operation Safeguard Saving Your Back If we once again take a look at Clinton-Lvdia accident statistics for the past year, we find that a high percent of injury cases treated was the result of improper lifting causing back strains and pulled muscles. Safe lifting is a subject that " we've heard a great deal about in the past. Certainly most of us are familiar with the fundamentals of safe lifting. However, it might be appropriate to review these facts again to see if we can't uuvvii me iiumufi ui ucicis. injuries we get. We've been told to lift with our leg, not with our backs. The reason for this is because of the way our bodies are | constructed. If you touch your back you can feel the curved column of your backbone. This backbone is made up of a lot of j little bones and discs tied to- 1 gether with ligaments and muscles. t If you try to lift too much 1 or lift in a bent-over position. ? you can put too much of a < strain on your back and may tear these muscles or liga- ? ments. By bending the knees. ' you let the strong muscles in ' your legs take most of the punishment and thus avoid ( putting too great a strain on ( the ligaments and thin ( muscles of the backbones. If you have something to * lift, first make sure you have a solid footing in order not to lose your balance when j making the lift. Then squat down close to the object and ( keep your back in as near a J straight up-and-down position ? as possible. The idea is not ; to bend at the waist so that \ your back does the major part of the work. Get a firm grip on the object by placing the fingers 1 underneath the load when- . ever possible. Lift gradually and avoid quick, jerky motions which may put sudden strains on your muscles. Some suggest taking a deep breath while lifting so that your muscles are tensed. Carry the load close to you. It's easier to keep your balance and you distribute the ( weight over your whole body < evenly. Avoid twisting motions in moving material from one place to another. If you must change direction, shift your feet. Of course, if the load is too much for you, get help. We don't want you to try to lift beyond your strength. How much can a person lift safely. This is hard to say because it varies with each person. However, if you use your common sense and a little judgment, you can prettv well set vnur nwn safe limit?100 pounds is usually plenty for most people in good physical condition. Setting a load down is just about the same as lifting, but in reverse. It requires crouching and letting the leg muscles carry the load down.
