What are four principles of manual handling back care?

1). Keep your back straight and your knees bent. This will help to reduce the strain on your back.

2). Hold the load close to your body. This will help to distribute the weight evenly and reduce the strain on your back.

3). Lift and lower objects slowly and smoothly. This will help to prevent injuries.

4). Do not lift objects that are too heavy for you. If you must lift a heavy object, get help from someone else.
