• Make sure the backpack fits your body properly. An ill-fitting backpack may cause back, shoulder, or neck pain.
  
• Do not overload the backpack. Excessive weight can lead to spine and posture problems.
  
• Distribute the weight evenly. Place heavier items close to your back to ensure better balance.
  
• Watch out for sharp edges or protruding elements. They may pose a risk of cuts or damage to other items.
  
• Check the backpack’s technical condition. Regularly inspect seams, zippers, and straps to ensure they are not damaged. Defects may cause the backpack to tear suddenly and spill its contents.
  
• Be cautious with flammable materials. Avoid backpacks made of materials that ignite easily, especially if you work in environments exposed to high temperatures or open flames.
  
• Protect the backpack from moisture and extreme weather conditions. Prolonged exposure to moisture can lead to mold and mildew growth, while extreme temperatures may weaken the material.
  
• Keep the backpack clean. Regular cleaning prevents the buildup of dirt and bacteria that may cause allergies or skin irritation.
  
• Use the backpack as intended. Do not use hiking backpacks to carry heavy tools if they are not designed for that purpose.
  
• Secure the backpack while cycling or riding a motorcycle. Ensure that it does not restrict visibility or movement.
