• Surroundings: As you work, you will be in the proximity of moving machines, including order pickers, raised forklifts, turret trucks, and mobile carts, in your work surroundings.
• Activity: Partaking in sports may require remaining still in one spot, walking around, or scaling steps for a considerable time.
