May be an appropriate management option for Eva-May. Explore the options of making the work place more "back friendly" (e.g., raised filing cabinets, chairs with back supports). Have her lift with arms close to the body and avoid twisting, bending and reaching while lifting. If specific job tasks are high risk for back-related problems, consider task-sharing or alternative work.
