Useful tips

  1. Do not lift a full bottle of water if you are not sure you can handle the load safely. Ask for help!

  2. When lifting a full water bottle, be sure to:
    *stand close to the load;
    *bend your knees and tuck chin into the chest;
    *initiate lift with body weight;
    *lift load as close to the body as possible;
    *lift smoothly without jerking; and
    *most importantly ask for help!

  3. The water cooler should be “cleaned” at least every 3 months by a professional technician.
