In what position must short-handled tools not be used?

Standing position
Stooped, kneeling, or squatting position
Sitting position
Any position

The correct answer is: Stooped, kneeling, or squatting position

Short-handled tools should not be used in a stooped, kneeling, or squatting position because these positions increase the risk of back injuries and strain. Using tools that require the user to bend or kneel can lead to poor posture and excessive stress on the lower back and joints. Ergonomically, it is more beneficial to use longer-handled tools that allow the worker to maintain an upright posture, thus reducing the physical strain and potential for injury while working. This consideration is vital in promoting safety and health in agricultural practices. Using these tools in standing or sitting positions is generally acceptable as it allows for better posture and reduces the risk of injury. It’s important for farm labor contractors and workers to understand proper tool usage and body mechanics to minimize health risks.
