If a worker repeatedly twists the body to pick an item, which correction is appropriate?

Correct answer: Keep the item in front and within easy reach

The direct answer is option C: keep the item in front and within easy reach. Ergonomics tries to reduce unnecessary twisting, stretching and repeated strain. Step by step: an item placed to the side or far away makes the worker twist or reach; repeated twisting stresses the back, neck and shoulders; moving the item to the front and into a comfortable reach zone lets the worker use a more natural posture; therefore the correction is safer and more efficient. Option C is correct because it addresses the cause of the repeated movement. Option A is wrong because making the item farther away increases reaching and twisting. Option B is wrong because removing breaks can increase fatigue and injury risk. Option D is unrelated: less lighting may harm visibility and does not solve body twisting. Memory cue: frequently used objects should be in front, nearby and easy to reach.
