Please develop an action plan for your facility that reflects the CEOs request. In considering shoulder and back injury prevention, discuss the value of training employees on the importance of lifting mechanics to include some discussion on load moment and how the distance that ones arms extend beyond the body while holding a load can put excess strain on the shoulders and back when lifting. Provide a mathematical example of a 12-pound electrical motor held close to the body vs. a situation where the load is held at 20 inches from the body to help emphasize your point (Hint: Make sure you read all of the required readings in addition to the book chapters).
