Which statement is consistent with “good lifting technique”?

  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.
