Question: One ergonomic hazard you could consider if you have not come up with one on your own is one with which most people are somewhat familiar: airline baggage handling. Moving heavy baggage of all different shapes and sizes around all day can take a real toll on their rotator cuffs often resulting in the need for surgery. Removing them from the conveyor, placing them on carts, then onto the loading conveyor, and into the cargo hold of the plane requires all sorts of awkward shoulder motions while under load. This is a significant hazard that has been well-documented in the industry.
