So the last few days of work I had to leave early because I've had pain in my knees. It didn't used to be that bad and tried to just ignore it. Several months ago I pulled a milk pallet, and that time I felt an enormous strain on my legs. Why it has to be stacked six crates high and with nine columns is beyond me. Like a moron, I said nothing, and just went on without reporting it. I've even pushed milk pallets again since then. However, now not only do both my knees hurt, but one "pops" on a regular basis just while walking. I'm hoping with outside physical therapy this gets better, but I think I'm going to quit. Luckily I haven't had to push milk pallets for awhile as I was put almost exclusively on dry market the past few months.
I've noticed recently that some individuals, mainly Tls use a powerjack to push the pallets, but no one trains the typical team members to use them., and if you aren't trained, you can't use them. I feel like this shit could be avoided if regular tms are trained to use a power jack to push milk pallets rather than strain oneself to pull so much from one side of the store to the other. Anyone else go through this?
