Factors in relation to the task that could increase risk of injury would be :
DISTANCE – to be travelled with the load height of the shelves requiring vertical movements;
REPETITON –the need for repetition movements when loading boxes on to shelves;
FORCE - the physical force required to perform the task and the strain this puts on the body, perhaps the boxes may have to be pushed or pulled;
POSTURE - any requirement to adopt an awkward posture such as bending for picking up, stooping for putting box on to shelves;
TWISTING - twisting the trunk when carrying the boxes;
REST - work rate that won’t allow a worker to rest recover from fatigue.
