0.57-1.06 min of tape

Background is training and Zibi translates what is Mr White saying

Collin White - maximum weight for lifting for women is 16 kilos

He is telling about backfs injury

There are 2 types of injury:

-instant

And acumulative

Like;-leaning,reaching,streatching

Zibi -and such kind of leaning.like you were doing recently Are you still working on the line?

I - Yes,I am

Zibi-You were not to have done that any more , because you are too short

I- and after two and a half of year they said that I am too short

Zibi-like we were lastly ,Julia said that you can not work like this because you are in leaning position all the time

I - this mean that I am too tall

Zibi- I do not understand

I- if I am leaning that is mean that I am too tall,because in other way I would mount myself on my toes.

Zibi - translates to Collin White our conversation

I - I am not too short because I am using pallets

Collin- you are using pallets?

I-yes I am

Collin- when we were lastly you were leaning like that when you become older you will have band back,I know that nobody should work like that

I - I still do not understand, I am too short , but I lean over belt.I am tall enough to be bent over the line

Zibi-once again, aha -because to reach oposite end of belt

Marek-but she do not have to reach oposite end,there is staying another person

Zibi-but I mean this one belt which is only for one person

I-one moment please ,when I am standing on the pallet I am taller than Sam

Collin-OK I show you something .put your arm next to mine.( he bent his knees and lower himself to my hight that I could understand that if we even have got the same hight my arms are still shorter)When you are older like me your back will be very big problem for you

1.08min-1.17min

We are speaking about temperature during winter and summer and its influence on our work

Marek - in the summer there is like in sauna

I - there is 47 Celcius

I- it has nothing common with our work

1.30min-1.45

About lifting heavy objects.

I- am speaking about weights which I was forced to lift

Marek-there often was heavier than 30 kilos

I translate Marek what Mr Collin said.and I am telling him that it has nothing common whith our job,nobody stoppes the belt to scale the object,pile of rubbish

Zibi-if I can not lift something I leave this

I - so you work with normal people,once I did not pick up 2 tins and it caused problems to me ,they said that I do not work properly because I left 2 tins.

Marek : there are norms which allows to leave some persent of rubbish in paper and they were shouting because of 2 tins

I am complaining about terrible rate , that they can manipulate how big amount of rubbish is on the belt.They take off level they load terrible amount of rubbish on the belt with digger.

1.48- 1.53

Marek: we were doing boxes for 25 kilos each day for a couple of weeks .

I - again I am complaing about heavy burdens which I had to lift per 10 hours each day.
