Don't forget: Lift With Your Legs!

Working in the event industry is fast-paced -- and that's why we love it! But even though things around us are happening quickly, we can't forget about safety. One of the most common mistakes while working at an event is lifting something incorrectly, which unfortunately can result in a serious back injury. Since our industry is so physical, we definitely do not want this to happen!

A few pointers to keep in mind:

Do not:

• Bend at the waist
  ​

Do:

• Squat
• Lift
• Keep back straight
• Use legs (!)
• Hold load close
