6. Lifting
1. Stand close to the load with your feet spread apart about shoulder width, with one foot slightly in front of the other for balance.
2. Squat down bending at the knees (not your waist). Tuck your chin while keeping your back as vertical as possible
3. Get a firm grasp of the object before beginning the lift.
4. Begin slowly lifting with your LEGS by straightening them. Never twist your body during this step.
5. Once the lift is complete, keep the object as close to the body as possible. As the load's center of gravity moves away from the body, there is a dramatic increase in stress to the lumbar region of the back.

Old R-12 systems will kill you if you are under a car and breath in the invisible –odorless gas.
Refrigerant is very cold when leaking from the system- minus 50 degrees. = instant frostbite.
Air Conditioning systems are very hot near compressor
R-12 Refrigerant is harmful to the ozone layer.
R-134a … not as much.

48. Not Acceptable
