A technician has been tasked with adding equipment to a rack. Which of the following should be followed to minimize the chance for injury while installing the equipment?

Proper lifting techniques, such as bending knees, keeping the back straight, and using leg muscles, are crucial to prevent musculoskeletal injuries when moving and installing heavy equipment into a rack. This directly addresses the 'chance for injury' by minimizing physical strain.

Hot-cold aisle implementation is a data center design strategy for optimizing cooling efficiency, not for preventing physical injury during equipment installation.

ESD straps are used to prevent electrostatic discharge damage to electronic components, not to protect technicians from physical injury.

Proper redundant power distribution ensures continuous power supply to equipment and enhances reliability, but it does not directly prevent physical injury to technicians during installation.
