RECOMMENDATIONS<br />
1. Use ladders where possible to reduce reaching requirements.<br />
2. Use trolleys and sack trucks where possible to transport items to avoid heavy lifting and carrying.<br />
3. Use keg caddies to transport kegs to avoid excessive stooping and lifting required to transport kegs.<br />
4. Correct techniques of lifting/handling and appropriate work postures are essential ie, feet facing in direction<br />
of transfer to minimise twisting of the lower spinal region, squatting/kneeling and semi-flexed elbows to<br />
facilitate power muscle group usage.<br />
5. Back care education and lifting/handling principles could be reinforced via on-site education sessions.<br />
6. Pre-employment screening is essential to rule out any pre-existing conditions prior to commencement on such<br />
tasks. This will minimise further reaggravation, pre-existing conditions and also identify any potential for injury<br />
following work commencement.<br />
7. Pause exercise breaks during work practices are essential to minimise static muscle loading.<br />
