We had a inmate that was clearing a pallet of goods. I observed him bending at the waist and reaching over another pallet to load a cart. As the instructor of the in2work program I found this a perfect teaching opportunity for both Aramark staff and the inmates. I stopped production and had the everyone gather so we could teach proper lifting techniques. We demonstrated bending our knees, moving obstacles out of the way, and even team lift techniques. We also discussed stretching and prevented messures to insure saftey. This was a great team builder for the entire kitchen and a great way to prevent injuries.
