Lifting Techniques

Items on a pallet jack can weigh up to 100 pounds, making caution when handling a necessity, according to OSHA. Lifting or placing items on a pallet causes many workers to bend at the waist repeatedly, creating possible ergonomics problems. These problems are exacerbated when the heaviest objects are placed on the bottom of the pallet for stability and workers are required to lift the heaviest items from the most awkward position.
