False In the absence of a lifting aid, you should practice proper lifting techniques to avoid injury. Here are safer lifting guidelines: 1. **Assess the Load:** Ensure you are capable of lifting the cylinder yourself. If it's too heavy, ask for help. 2. **Bend at Your Knees:** Squat down, rather than bending at the waist. 3. **Maintain a Straight Back:** Keep your back as straight as possible and use your legs for the lift. 4. **Hold the Cylinder Close:** Keep the cylinder close to your body to reduce strain on your back. 5. **Avoid Twisting Movements:** Turn with your feet instead of twisting your torso while carrying the load. 6. **Use a Buddy System:** If feasible, ask someone to help you carry the cylinder. If cylinders need to be moved regularly, investing in the proper equipment, such as cylinder trolleys or dollies, is highly recommended.
