Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Public Health has highlighted the importance of workplace safety on the occasion of World Day for Safety and Health at Work, emphasizing safe lifting techniques to prevent injuries.

Workers are advised to avoid twisting their spine while carrying heavy objects, instead moving their feet to change direction to minimize back strain. Loads should be kept below shoulder height for better control, and individuals should avoid bending at the waist.

When lifting, the ministry recommends positioning feet shoulder-width apart, keeping the chest up, pushing through the heels, and keeping the load close to the body at all times.

"Workplace safety is everyone's responsibility. Together towards safer workplaces and a healthier future," the ministry stated.
