How do you stack blocks/bricks without hurting your back?
I am helping to build a garage at the moment and I feel I am spraining my back by putting pressure on it when lifting moving the bricks. I try the whole ”bending your knees thing” but I am not quite sure if that is working. Any help at all is greatly appreciated.
if lifting concrete blocks, you should keep your back as straight as possible and squat down with your knees either side of the block, grabbing each edge with a good comfortable grip, and here is the trick…before you lift, look to make sure you are okay to lift, and lift your head up so your back straightens and look forward…now begin to lift with your legs, by standing straight up and pull the block in to your waist as you ascend…it should be all done as one fluid movement and if you feel it above your knees , then you are lifting correctly…
when you are stacking the blocks or moving them from one place to another it is vital that you walk each step properly and position yourself to place the block correctly. by bending the legs again and keep the back straight and place it at the last moment..NEVER pick up a block and keep your feet in the one position and then twist to stack the block…you will twist your spine and cause serious damage, that you can’t fix…I have done many manual handling courses over the years and the most important thing to remember is ‘ lift and drop correctly, not quickly’ it is better to take your time and do it right instead of rushing and damaging your back….be careful and you should be okay…
