SAFETY | Ergonomics
Studies have shown that ergonomically designed products help reduce both mental and physical stress in the workplace. Muscles and joints can
become strained over time with repetitive motions and activity. ZEE offers products to help workers stay productive on the job while preventing

Lifting properly is important. While there are some general lifting
guidelines, a different approach may be needed for each load to be lifted.
Sometimes it is appropriate to lift with the legs, and other times the back
should be used to lift. These techniques depend on the size and shape of
the load, and the frequency of lifting that is required.
Use of proper lifting techniques when performing manual lifts will
minimize the risk to the back, but a heavy load still can cause injury even
with perfect technique.
• Maintain neutral spine alignment whenever possible. Usually, bending
at the knees, not the waist, helps maintain proper spine alignment.
• Keep the load close to the body. For large bulky loads, it may be better
to bend at the waist instead of the knees because this will keep the
load closer to the body. Do not reach to access a load.
• Minimize bending of the body by keeping the load between shoulder
and thigh height when lifting. Keep heavier loads off the floor.
• Do not twist the body when lifting. Keep the load in front of the body.
• Lift heavier or bulky loads with a partner.
• Strengthen back and abdomen muscles that support your spine.
