To reduce the risk of injuries due to improper body mechanics, make it a habit to maintain proper posture at all time (standing, walking , sitting etc.) When there's a need to carry heavy objects, make sure that we do not strain ourselves by using the right posture. Using suitable equipment/ aid to assist in lifting to avoid potential injuries.]]> 2021-02-09 03:40:14 UTC https://padlet.com/gracexiaowan8936/z6geii0w608evc9/wish/1180162415 Desmond desmondpeng1 https://padlet.com/gracexiaowan8936/z6geii0w608evc9/wish/1182889414 Having proper body mechanics would allows us to have better mental and physical health. Not only that, the nutrient supplied to our body would be equally important. Thats includes better sleeping and resting cycle.]]> 2021-02-09 15:55:51 UTC https://padlet.com/gracexiaowan8936/z6geii0w608evc9/wish/1182889414 Desmond desmondpeng1 https://padlet.com/gracexiaowan8936/z6geii0w608evc9/wish/1182914338 The biggest lesson learnt here is that i will always ask myself if the activity i am about to carry out: is that safe? how could i achieve the same results without hurting myself? and of course to look out for potential risk for my colleagues too.]]> 2021-02-09 15:59:33 UTC https://padlet.com/gracexiaowan8936/z6geii0w608evc9/wish/1182914338 varrenh https://padlet.com/gracexiaowan8936/z6geii0w608evc9/wish/1187155969 Having proper body mechanics most importantly prevents injuries to ourselves.

If we are moving people or things around, it also prevents injuries to the person being moved and damage to objects being moved.

In addition, proper body mechanics also ensures that our body is being utilised in a more efficient way to minimise the effort required for maximum output.]]> 2021-02-10 13:10:15 UTC https://padlet.com/gracexiaowan8936/z6geii0w608evc9/wish/1187155969 varrenh https://padlet.com/gracexiaowan8936/z6geii0w608evc9/wish/1187166966 The biggest takeaway from this module is to realise how we often neglect something so fundamental and something which we usually take for granted. Proper body mechanics is really something which we can benefit greatly from just by simply paying a little more attention to it.

In our daily lives, it bears remembering and practising how to maintain proper posture, how to maintain a proper sleeping position and how to take precautions not to over-exert and injure ourselves.]]> 2021-02-10 13:12:38 UTC https://padlet.com/gracexiaowan8936/z6geii0w608evc9/wish/1187166966
