This document provides guidelines for safely lifting packages and boxes. It recommends reducing weight by adjusting contents or number lifted at once. Using supports like platforms or step stools is also advised. For moving, maintain good posture by keeping the load close, feet shoulder-width apart, and back straight. Lift with arm and shoulder muscles, shift weight slowly, and push objects onto shelves using arm strength rather than back muscles.
