Question

which of the following would put you at risk when dealing with heavy loads? select the best option. avoid lifting above shoulder level break loads into parts get help with heavy or bulky items lift with your back, keep your legs straight, and twist

Explanation:

Lifting with the back, keeping legs straight, and twisting are incorrect lifting techniques. The back is not designed to bear heavy loads in this way. Keeping legs straight reduces the power - generating ability of the leg muscles (which are stronger than back muscles), and twisting while lifting can cause spinal injuries.
Avoiding lifting above shoulder level is a good practice as it reduces the torque on the body. Breaking loads into parts makes the load more manageable. Getting help with heavy or bulky items distributes the load and reduces the risk of injury.

Answer:

Lift with your back, keep your legs straight, and twist
