Cómo controlar: manual tasks
- Redesign the task to remove lifting, such as having materials delivered close to where they are needed.

- Order materials in smaller or lighter packs, and store heavy items between knee and shoulder height.
- Set up workstations to avoid bending, twisting and overreaching, and provide adjustable seating for prolonged sitting.
