Question

which of the following is part of the proper lifting technique?
a. lower your head.
b. keep your back straight.
c. lift with your arms.
d. bend your waist.

Explanation:

Proper lifting technique focuses on protecting the lower back. Keeping the back straight distributes weight safely to the legs (the body's strongest muscles for lifting). Lowering the head, lifting with only arms, or bending the waist strains the back and increases injury risk.

Answer:

B. Keep your back straight.
