8 Keys:

Position your feet shoulder width apart, one slightly ahead of the other.
Grasp the package with opposite corners.
Test the package for weight and shifting contents.
Lift with a smooth steady motion.
Pivot or step, don't twist.
Keep the natural curve of the back.
Use existing equipment to assist in the lift or lower.
Bend at the knees.

These are the only eight keys I worry about. And I don't know the Five Seeing Habits word for word either. I'm at 27 years of safe driving now.

Every time some new sup asked me to say those things , I played dumb & screwed up the things to make them waste their time telling me all the correct ways to say them.
The most I told them was All Good Kids Like Milk.
I started doing that years before retiring, so today I know nothing.
