Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both Technician A and Technician B are incorrect. The correct way to lift heavy items is to use your legs and keep your back straight. Bending your back while lifting can lead to injury, and your lower back is not solely responsible for lifting ability. It is important to distribute the weight evenly through your legs and maintain a good posture.
