Handling
Planning the operation
Two seconds. That's all it takes. Two seconds.
Just two seconds to either stop and think about your action or two seconds to
injure your back or others around you, potentially permanently.
We are asking that you take just two seconds to stop and question whether you
are about to lift something the best way. To help you with this, we have a short
acronym for you to consider each time you are about to perform a lift. It's called
TILE!
T - Task
I - Individual
L - Load
E - Environment
Asking yourself these questions before moving an object will give you the best
chance in keeping yourself safe and protected when handling objects.
It just takes 2 seconds to consider these things, but the effects can last a
lifetime if you don't.
