In which situation can ergonomic risk remain even if the workplace is organised?

Correct answer: Item is organised but heavy and very high

The direct answer is A: an item may be organised but still be an ergonomic risk if it is heavy and placed very high. Organisation means that things have a planned location; it does not automatically mean that the location is safe or easy to use. Step by step: consider the object’s weight; consider its height and the worker’s reach; consider the lifting posture and force needed; then judge whether the task creates strain, dropping risk or overreaching. Option A is correct because a heavy object above shoulder level may require stretching, awkward posture or unsafe lifting, even if it is neatly stored. Option B is wrong because a nearby, light item is generally less risky, although the whole task should still be checked. Option C is wrong because a clean, dry floor reduces slipping risk but does not answer the heavy-high storage problem. Option D is wrong because balanced lighting is helpful but does not remove the risk caused by weight and height. Memory cue: organised is not automatically ergonomic; check reach, weight, posture and force.
