In 2015, the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) ruled that, for a warehouse operative, lifting and moving goods weighing up to 25kg, in part manually and in part using a pallet truck, was a day-to-day activity. “No-one with any knowledge of modern UK working life could doubt that large numbers of people are employed to lift and move cases of up to 25kg across a range of occupations, including in particular occupations concerning warehousing and distribution,” noted the EAT judge. Mr Banaszczyk, who suffered from chronic back pain, was a disabled person, entitled to the protection of the EA 2010.
