DISTANCE – to be travelled with the load height of the shelves requiring vertical movements;

REPETITION –the need for repetition movements when loading boxes on to shelves;

FORCE - the physical force required to perform the task and the strain this puts on the body, perhaps the boxes may have to be pushed or pulled; 

POSTURE - any requirement to adopt an awkward posture such as bending for picking up, stooping for putting box on to shelves;

TWISTING - twisting the trunk when carrying the boxes;
