The work place is saturated with workforce hazards, especially those which require physical labor. At the time I had been working in the service industry and I was shocked by how physically laborious the everyday operational tasks could be. One in particular was re-stocking the keg cooler. This task could happen multiple times each day and often required unnecessary moving of other kegs in the way. A full keg can weigh upwards of 150 lbs. and can be cumbersome to transport. Often this can result in workforce injuries costing the client and their employer time and money. For this reason I decided to design a product to help the user practice healthy lifting techniques, while alleviating some of the extraneous physical strain.
