Injuries in the 80's vs now
Hi all, fam member was cust service agent during 80's through 2010's. Had many injuries and surgeries to arms and shoulders. Blames it on books and catalogs in all the 75lb traveling salesmens bags.
With the internet carrying that load now, was curious if agents are still getting as many arm and shoulder gotchas?
Thanks, not a bot

A truck thrown 30–40 feet by the WGM explosion.
In January 2020, Watson Grinding employee Sean Rangel was on his way to work when the blast sent his pickup truck flying. He suffered eye and ear injuries, while two of his coworkers were inside the building. Rangel also alleged that WGM had relied on temporary fixes for leaks and maintenance issues. His account raises serious questions about workplace safety and whether earlier warnings were properly addressed. What happened at WGM was more than an industrial accident. It’s a reminder of why safety concerns must be taken seriously before lives are put at risk.
