[QUOTE="Big Package, post: 3822439, member: 67494"] Work at a steady and safe place. You're paid by the hour and they certainly don't pay much if you're injured. Follow methods. Watch your feet. Maintain egress. Accidents happen even when you're paying attention. I start at medium, work towards "slow"(er), maintain that pace and then burst energy when hectic pulls come. Really though it's how your body reacts and what you can do. Dress in layers. Stretch. Stay hydrated. Eat healthy. Milk OT for every second. Make sure you sign up for extra work. They don't care about seniority when they drop sign up sheets. The biggest part people fail at is burning up all their burst energy by trying to outwork everyone or make a name for themselves in the first 8 hours. Pulled muscles etc. Best advice though is watch the non-seasonal around you and ask them for building specific things that nobody here can help with. Like my old building, if a splitter saw an oversize and knew a few bulks for that car came already, they immediately just send it out to pallets we would load. A lot changes when black Friday comes. It's a marathon and never a race and everything always gets finished somehow so just don't kill yourself and always always always do a safety check of your area for slippables; labels etc, trippables; bands, and whatever else rhymes with ippables.
