'Material Handling Injuries' are characterized as the 'injuries caused at work due to the carrying or holding of heavy loads.'

The probable hazards associated with 'materials' in terms of material handling injuries include:

A). Being crushed by machines, falling materials, or improper materials.

C). Being struck by materials or caught in pinch points

D). Improper manual lifting or carrying loads that are too heavy.

E). Incorrectly cutting ties or securing devices.

The probable injury threats to the workers while handling materials include all the above-mentioned situations.

In the case of lifting heavy materials at a worksite, the workers might get quashed through heavy machines and lead to strain in the muscles or bones of the workers.
Carrying inadequate materials like toxic or combustible materials may cause serious harm to them.
Lifting of heavyweights can cause sprain to the tissues of the workers and while there is also a chance that the heavy materials can cause them to be hit by them or get caught in choking points leading to suffocation or fainting.
The improper usage of binding ties might lead the load to fall abruptly on the workers' body and damage his body.
The other hazards are not associated with material handling rather using electrical equipment(shock or electrocution).

Thus, options A, C, D, and E are the correct answers.
