But making sure they have the right procedures and equipment for lifting heavy items would be a good start.

Part of my job involves taking the cases apart to foam the interior. There isn't any machine that can do that, and I don't normally have a problem. The section of case we were lifting to put back only weighed around 50 kilos, so I'm quite capable of taking half the weight of that, I was only hurt because the guy lifting the other side lost his grip. Just an accident.
