When picking up a load it should be tilted?

When picking up a load, tilting it slightly can help to balance the weight more effectively and reduce strain on the body. This technique allows for better control and stability, making it easier to lift and maneuver the load. However, it's important to ensure that the tilt does not compromise safety or lead to awkward lifting positions that could cause injury. Always use proper lifting techniques, such as bending at the knees and keeping the load close to your body.
