Answer:

injured shoulders and upper and lower back

Step-by-step explanation:

When it comes to proper body mechanics, it is important to bend at the knees when lifting a large item. This is done with both feet standing apart, with the other foot a little forward than the other. Bending at the waist will injure the person's shoulders and back because this uses the muscles of the back instead of the muscles of the arms and legs. If the person in the workplace does this often, his lower back muscles will be torn at some point thereby causing pain.
