As a food service delivery driver, you have a very demanding job. Half of your time is spent outside in the hot sun, rain, snow, sleet or high winds. Plus, you’re in and out of coolers and freezers as well as hot storage areas, where temperatures range from 0 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Not to mention, you must continually climb, stoop, balance, lift and twist - and usually with a heavy load. This all means you must constantly think about safe work techniques to reduce your risk of injury on the job. And once you know the basics of lifting and good body mechanics, you can use the best possible safety techniques for each situation.
