Because the contractors are small operations, most of their orders are also relatively small and can be loaded by hand. Warehouse personnel go to the appropriate bins, pull out the material needed to fill their orders, and load the materials on customers’ trucks. Even though most orders are small enough to be loaded by hand, many of the materials purchased are bulky and cumbersome to handle. Because of this, CPC’s loaders are re- quired to wear such personal protection gear as hard hats, padded gloves, steel-toed boots, and lower-back-support belts
