Which statement is consistent with “good lifting technique”? 


  1. Keep your centre of gravity and that of the object being lifted as close as possible.
  2. Maximise the length of the effort arms of the body levers you use to lift the load.
  3. Use the relatively strong back muscles rather than the relatively weak thigh muscles.
  4. Minimise your base of support and bend your legs at the knees before you lean over.

A: This strategy will keep the load arms of the levers, as short as possible. In addition adopt a wide base of support, bend your knees and use your leg muscles to lift.
