Time:
Note: You will be lifting boxes that weigh approximately 20lbs each. It is very important to prevent injury to your lower back when lifting objects of any weight. Always follow these WorkSafe BC rules, even for lifting light objects:
• Place your feet apart for good balance.
• Bend your knees.
• Hold the object as close to your body as possible.
• Lift smoothly and slowly.
• Pivot with your feet—don’t twist your back.
• Push, rather than pull, a load.
• Share the load with a partner.
• Get mechanical assistance for heavy loads.
Know your own strengths and limitations. Use proper lifting, bending, and sitting techniques to help reduce low-back injuries.
Please contact Edmund Ma to arrange the use of a dolly.
This a one-time commitment to fulfill an immediate need. The time will be confirmed Thursday afternoon.
Your health and safety are important to us.
Maintain physical distancing by keeping a minimum 2-meter distance between you and any other person not in your immediate family.
Practice good hand hygiene by washing your hands thoroughly and often. Wash hands with soap for a minimum of 20 seconds and rinse under clean running water.
If you are at all unsure of your health status, the BC Centre for Disease Control’s online self-assessment tool is available at https://covid19.thrive.health/.
