Personal protective equipment (PPE) is often mandatory to ensure safety, and workers should be prepared for repetitive tasks and physical activity, including bending, crawling, kneeling, lifting, and moving heavy items. Collaboration with team members and adherence to strict quality standards are integral to the workflow.
