Workers may be required to polish cutlery and crockery (photographs six and seven). This task is usually completed
at a waist height bench in the bar area. This may require carrying tubs or trays of crockery and cutlery weighing
up to approximately 15kg from the kitchen to the bar area. Polishing crockery requires the worker to hold the plate
or cup in one hand using gross grasping and then wiping the item with the towel requiring wrist movements of ulnar
and radial deviation to provide the wiping motion. Tripod grasping is used to manipulate the cutlery.
