Proper Shovelling Technique
Knowing the proper technique for shoveling can help reduce your chance of suffering a back injury.
- Keep feet wide apart. Place your front foot close to the shovel.
- Put weight on your front foot. Use your leg to push shovel.
- Shift weight to rear foot. Keep load close to your body.
- Turn feet in the direction of the throw (do not twist at waist).
- When digging, push spade down with leg muscle.
- Slide load close to your body. Ensure load is loose from ground before lifting.
