Dear Manish,
Here are a few safety tips to keep in mind when lifting:
1) Stand close to the load and center yourself over it with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2) Tighten your abdominal muscles.
3) Keeping your back straight, bend your knees and squat down to the floor.
4) Get a good grasp on the load with both hands.
5) Keeping the load close to your body, use your leg muscles to stand up and lift the load off the floor.
6) Your back should remain straight throughout the lifting process, utilizing only the muscles in your legs to lift the load.
7) Avoid twisting your body when moving the load. Instead, take small steps with your feet, turning until you are in the correct position.
8) Again, bend at the knees using only your leg muscles and place the load in the appropriate spot.

Kindly review and ensure safe lifting practices are followed.

Dear manish,
I don't have any checklist i think its easy to make a checklist of lifting just add the below mentioned points on XL files your checklist is ready.
· Holding loads away from the trunk?
· Twisting, stooping or reaching upwards?
· Large vertical movement?
· Long carrying distance?
· Strenuous pushing or pulling?
· Unpredictable movement of loads?
· Repetitive handling?
· Insufficient rest or recovery time?
· A work rate imposed by a process?
The loads:
· Heavy, bulky or unwieldy?
· Difficult to grasp?
· Unsuitable or unpredictable?
· Intrinsically harmful, e.g. sharp or hot?
· Have you asked your supplier to help?
Eg. By changing the size of containers?
The working environment:
· Constraint on posture?
· Poor floors?
· Variation in levels?
· Hot/cold/humid conditions?
· Strong air movements?
· Poor lighting conditions?
· Restrictions on movement or posture from Clothes or personal protective equipment?
Individual capacity:
· Require unusual capability?
· Endanger those with a health problem?
· Endanger pregnant women?
Ways of reducing the risk of injury
· Improve workplace layout to improve efficiency?
· Reduce the amount of twisting and stooping?
· Avoid lifting from floor level or above shoulder height?
· Cut carrying distances?
· Avoid repetitive handling?
· Vary the work, allowing one set of muscles to rest while another is used?
Can you make the load;;
· Lighter or less bulky?
· Easier to grasp?
· More stable?
· Less damaging to hold?
· Remove obstructions to free movement?
· Provide better flooring?
· Avoid steps and steep ramps?
· Prevent extremes of hot and cold?
· Improve lighting?
· Consider less restrictive clothing or personal protective equipment?
· Take better care of those who have a physical weakness or are pregnant?
· Give your employees more information, e.g. about the range of tasks they are likely to face?
· Provide training

Dear Manishanand,
I presume that it is not related to manual material handling.
If I am to answer your question, I may need to know all the details.
Is it a checklist or a lift plan? (I doubt - it is a lift plan that you really require). Again, heavy lift criteria may vary across different industries. In that case, what is the minimum load that you consider as heavy?
It could also be a critical lift. The list for critical lifts is extensive. Are you certain that you are inquiring about just a heavy lift checklist (plan) or a critical lift plan? Critical lift plans often include heavy lifts as well.
If it is a lift plan, who will prepare it? Do you have a certified or trained rigger? (A competent person - referred to as a rigger - is the one who can create a critical lift plan.) If a safety officer is trained and certified as a rigger, he can assist in preparing the lift plan. If not, please do not assign this task to him. (There are safety officers who believe they can do everything. I sympathize with them.) Remember that safety is a staff function, not a line function.
When preparing a lift plan, numerous factors need consideration. Upon understanding your requirements, I can provide detailed information.
Safety precautions can be easily listed and followed for a safe lift. I will provide these details after learning your exact requirements.

It can also be a critical lift. The list for critical lifts is a big one. Are you sure that you are asking for just a heavy lift checklist (plan) or a critical lift plan. Critical lift plan often includes heavy lifts also.
If it is a lift plan, who will prepare it?
Have you got a certified or trained rigger? (A competent person- called rigger alone can do a critical lift plan.)
If a safety officer is trained and certified as a rigger; of course he can help prepare the lift plan and if not please don’t entrust this job to him. (There are Safety officers who think they are jack of all trades. I sympathize with them). Better to remember here that safety is a staff function and not line.
In preparing a lift plan there are too many factors to consider. On knowing your requirement I may be able to detail it.
