Protecting the back
Loading, lifting, pouring, weighing: many actions in production are repetitive and put a strain on the back.
Protecting the shoulders
Catching, lifting, hooking, knocking over, sorting: shoulders are also manhandled in production.
Protect the back of the neck
Looking up, grabbing a pallet with a forklift: preparing orders is the cause of neck pain.
