The physical demands of lifting and carrying heavy packages can lead to musculoskeletal injuries, strains, and sprains. Workers may experience back pain, herniated discs, and other injuries that can lead to long-term health problems. The policy also contributes to worker fatigue, as employees are required to work at a rapid pace for extended periods.

The lift and carry policy raises significant safety concerns. Workers may be required to lift packages in awkward or uncomfortable positions, increasing the risk of injury. The policy also encourages workers to prioritize speed over safety, potentially leading to accidents and injuries.

In addition to physical health impacts, the lift and carry policy can also have mental health consequences. Workers may experience stress, anxiety, and pressure to meet productivity targets, leading to burnout and decreased job satisfaction.
