I chose this article because I believe this is a common hazard in many workplaces. There are lots of injuries related to handling of loads so I felt it was important to expand on the knowledge in this article.

 * There are many topics which can be expanded from Manual Handling of Loads along with many studies. I would suggest adding more statistics into this article.
 * There are ways to reduce the load carried by humans such as fork lifts or partner lifts. This should have been included in the article.
 * There was no talk of NIOSH lifting equation.
 * The article is very thin, I think if more data is added it can be very helpful.
 * It would be interesting to better understand what kind of industries this type of lifting can be found in.
 * I would suggest adding diagrams of lifting techniques if available.
 * This article only focuses on back injuries from lifting. There are more injuries which can occur from lifting.
