    I work from home incorporate IT but I still have to do training on how to pick up heavy boxes.

    Even when I was in the office the heaviest thing I tended to pick up was a toner cartridge.

      IT is definitely a job that has to know how to pick up heavy objects. I have a friend who was working as a consultant configuring corporate telephony systems. One time, he showed up to an install that was running a bit behind schedule. He stepped in to help finish the server room set up and ended up permanently damaging his back.

          What. How do you not know what country your contract was signed in?

            Companies have to follow employment law in the country you’re in. But American companies often have to do local stuff like training videos as well.
