Score Reason
Load weight R = 6 Definite red as clearly in the R=6 category.
Possible solutions[1]
Hand distance from lower back R = 6 Poor, not really to do with the environment but more poor lifting technique.
Possible solutions[2]
Vertical lift R = 3 Lifting from floor level when taking from bottom layer of pallet
Possible solutions[3]
Torso twisting/sideways bending R = 2 Lots of twisting and sideways bending
Possible solutions[4]
Postural constraints A = 1 Slightly restricted between the conveyor, rear wall and pallet
Possible solutions[5]
Grip on load A = 1 Fingers are clamped at 90º
Possible solutions[6]
Floor surface G = 0 No problems
Other environmental factors None No problems
