Common challenges include the risk of strains, sprains, or injuries from improper lifting techniques and navigating crowded areas with equipment or pallets. These challenges can be managed by following proper lifting protocols, using safety equipment such as gloves and steel-toe boots, and participating in regular safety trainings provided by employers.
