Planning the lift

Planning the lift for the person

Having assessed the load from a personal point of view you should consider the most appropriate way to proceed with the task. Some of the questions that can be considered are:

  • What is the most appropriate posture I can adopt to do this?
  • Does it need any mechanical help?
  • Is there anyone else around to help me?
  • What route shall I take?
  • Are there any obstructions in the way?
  • What happens when I get to my destination?

Depending upon the industry there may be other factors to consider or maybe the task is so simple and basic hardly any considerations are needed.
