Question

what should be done before attempting to lower an overhead load?
get a forklift
size up the load
put on a back support belt
shrink wrap the load

Explanation:

To determine the correct action before lowering an overhead load, we analyze each option:

• "Get a forklift" is more about equipment for moving, not a preparatory step for lowering.
• "Size up the load" (assess its weight, dimensions, stability) is a crucial safety step before lowering to ensure proper handling.
• "Put on a back support belt" is for personal protection during lifting, not directly related to preparing to lower the load.
• "Shrink wrap the load" is for securing/packaging, not a necessary pre - lowering step.

Answer:

B. size up the load
