Lift with your back
- C.
Lift with a strap
- D.
Lift with your legs
- E.
All the above
Correct Answer
D. Lift with your legsExplanation
When lifting material from the floor, it is important to lift with your legs. This is because the muscles in your legs are larger and stronger than the muscles in your back, making them better equipped to handle the weight. Lifting with your legs also helps to maintain proper posture and reduces the strain on your back, decreasing the risk of injury. Jerking the material up or lifting with your back can lead to back injuries, while using a strap alone may not provide enough support. Therefore, the correct method is to lift with your legs.Rate this question:
