Question

Which is the best description of what can happen if someone in the workplace regularly picks up a large item by bending

Answer 1

Answer:

It would be answer choice number 3 or C (Injured shoulders and upper and lower back)

Explanation:

This would be correct because bending at the waist and picking up large or heavy objects interferes with your spine and your shoulders. Regularly lifting this will give you problems in the future.

Answer 2

Answer:

injured shoulders and upper and lower back

Explanation:

When it comes to proper body mechanics, it is important to bend at the knees when lifting a large item. This is done with both feet standing apart, with the other foot a little forward than the other. Bending at the waist will injure the person's shoulders and back because this uses the muscles of the back instead of the muscles of the arms and legs. If the person in the workplace does this often, his lower back muscles will be torn at some point thereby causing pain.
