Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Bending followed by twisting and turning while lifting.

Step-by-step explanation:

The main cause of back injuries at work id the improper use of lifting techniques. While carrying heavy objects, they must be lifted with the legs having the cores tighten, maintaining the object as near as possible to the body and keeping the natural curve of the back. To accomplish good lifting techniques, there must be security coaching regularly for employees to remember what is the appropriate procedure to follow to avoid health issues.
