Product Transport
During product transport in retail
settings, MSD risks can arise from the
use of overloaded or poorly maintained
carts, navigating uneven surfaces, and
encountering blocked pathways. These
conditions often lead to excessive push/pull
forces and manual carrying, increasing strain
on workers. Maintaining clear walkways and
ensuring regular equipment checks are key
strategies to reduce these risks.
