When transporting ESD sensitive components
such as replacement parts or parts to be returned to Dell, it is critical
to place these parts in anti-static bags for safe transport.
Lifting equipment
Adhere to the following guidelines when lifting heavy weight equipment:
-
CAUTION: Do not
lift greater than 50 pounds. Always obtain additional resources or
use a mechanical lifting device.
-
Get a firm balanced
footing. Keep your feet apart for a stable base, and point your toes
out.
-
Tighten stomach muscles.
Abdominal muscles support your spine when you lift, offsetting the
force of the load.
-
Lift with your legs,
not your back.
-
Keep the load close.
The closer it is to your spine, the less force it exerts on your back.
-
Keep your back upright,
whether lifting or setting down the load. Do not add the weight of
your body to the load. Avoid twisting your body and back.
-
Follow the same techniques
in reverse to set the load down.
