When I began my journey at UPS in 1980 the weight limit was 50 pounds. We are all very aware of the limit now. What has changed besides that? Nothing...not the equipment, not the safety lingo. Lift with your legs, keep your back straight, don't twist. Good news is if you have an over 70 you can call for help. What a crock. Say you have what feels like a fridge to deliver to a 80 year old woman 90 miles from the center. What do you do? Hell, you know there is no help and you get it done. If you get hurt then you are an idiot and did something wrong.
Ever notice that the really heavy packages are rounded on the edges? That's because we had to roll them all the way from Utah. OSHA may not be perfect, but we sure need someone looking.
