Proper training in safe lifting techniques and regular use of equipment like forklifts or pallet jacks can help prevent injuries.

A Loader is responsible for loading and unloading materials, goods, or products onto trucks, trains, ships, or storage areas. They ensure that items are properly secured and organized, often operating machinery such as forklifts or pallet jacks.
