Some projects require the assistance of two or more people.

. Keep in mind a few basic steps:

• Let one person designate to lead the lift and give cues to the other person or people.
• Lift at the same time, at the same rate of speed and distance
• Keep the load level and balanced
• Unload slowly together
• Use equipment to share the load whenever possible.
