Question 2194 Deck General
70% to passWhen instructing a crew member concerning the right way to lift a weight, you would instruct him to _______________.
A
arch the back to add strength to the muscles
B
bend his back and stoop
C
bend his knees and lift with his legs
D
bend his back and stoop with arms straight
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) bend his knees and lift with his legs. The correct lifting technique involves bending the knees and using the leg muscles to lift the weight, rather than bending the back. This is the safest and most ergonomic way to lift heavy objects, as it avoids straining the back muscles and reduces the risk of injury. The other options are incorrect because: A) arching the back can increase the strain on the spine; B) and D) bending the back and stooping places unnecessary stress on the lower back muscles.
