NIOSH has designed a new publication to help retail workers and safety experts prevent overexertion injuries when moving materials from the delivery truck to the sales floor. The booklet uses illustrations that show how employees would use mechanical devices to perform manual materials handling tasks, thereby helping reduce overexertion injuries such as strains and sprains to the lower back, shoulders, and upper limbs. The publication, Ergonomic Solutions for Retailers, focuses on the grocery sector, but NIOSH notes that the suggestions ca​n be adapted for use in warehouse and storage facilities.
