-
Has the SE reduced the stresses of overhead work by reducing the duration of time, weight and effort?<br><br>If SEs are working with hands above their shoulders, their elbows will rise up away from their body. This creates stress on shoulder and upper back. This should be avoided. If they cannot avoid, break this activity up…do a little over shoulder or over head work, then stop and do something else to allow muscles to rest
-
If the company has established a maximum safe lifting limit, did the SE understand and conform to the policy limit? <br><br>If applicable, ask them to tell you the company’s maximum safe lifting limit.
