You should use existing equipment or facilities to assist you when lifting/lowering packages.

• A. Use existing equipment or facilities to assist you when lifting/lowering packages
• B. Not necessary
• C. Only for heavy items
• D. When possible to avoid using equipment

Answer: (A)

Using existing equipment or facilities to assist you when lifting or lowering packages is about safety and reducing injury risk. When you have a cart, dolly, pallet jack, forklift, lift, conveyor, or ramp available, using it helps keep the load close to your body, gives you better control, and lowers the strain on your back, shoulders, and arms. Before using any device, make sure it’s appropriate for the weight and size of the package, in good working order, and that the path is clear. If equipment isn’t available, seek help or adopt proper lifting techniques, but the preferred approach is to use the available equipment to assist whenever possible. Not using equipment or restricting its use to only certain items increases the chance of injury, and avoiding equipment when it’s available goes against safe handling practices.
