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.
