Avoid back pain.

２）　Safety and Peace of mind for "helpers"

(1)　Avoid back pain.

　　Care work often causes back pain.

　　Knowing your posture and how to move will help prevent back pain.

　　If you suffer from severe back pain, you will not be able to do your job.

・How to posture and breathe when lifting a heavy object.

　　Please place your body close to the object you are going to lift.

　　Please bend your knees and hold the object.

　　Do not put your feet side by side.

　　First, breathe in slowly and hold your breath.

　　After you have stopped breathing, lift it up.

　　This will help to get strength into your abdomen.

　　When you have finished lifting the object, breathe out.
