Measures for the employee when pushing and pulling

Before you begin

• Make the load as light as possible, for example by dividing it. 
• Make as much use as possible of handling devices.
• Bring in a colleague if the weight is too heavy or too large in volume.

During the work

• Push and pull as much as possible using both arms.
• Choose pushing as much as possible rather than pulling.
• Deliver power from your legs rather than your arms.
• Build up the pushing and pulling slowly, in order to avoid peak load.
