The lift that hurts someone is almost never the heavy one. It is the one nobody thought about.
Manual handling 10–20 min per run
People are careful with a load that looks heavy. The injury comes from the box picked up in passing, at arm's length, with a twist, because stopping to set up for it felt ridiculous for something that light.
This one is for everyone who lifts as part of the job rather than as the job. It is about the small, quick, unconsidered lifts, which is where the reportable accidents actually come from.
One run, three parts. A team can go back to any of them as often as it needs, and most do.
A team takes on a series of loads and says, before touching each one, what is going to be hard about it.
They get the feet, the grip and the path right, and feel the difference on the same load twice.
The pace goes up. They work on keeping the set-up at the point where there is a reason to skip it.

Put it on your shortlist and we go through it together, with nothing to decide yet.
Teams that meet this hazard usually meet the others on the same shift. The cluster page Manual handling holds all of them together.
