We’ve all been there to see a fellow employee try to change water containers on the office water cooler.  They’re lifting, grunting, and often injuring themselves.  But changing water coolers doesn’t have to be hazardous if you know how to properly change a water cooler.  

First, remove the plastic cap from the new container. Then, holding the bottom of the container with your dominant hand, slowly tilt it towards the top of the water cooler.  Once the water starts to come out, quickly place the container directly on top of the water cooler.  Large bottlers of water are very heavy – don’t forget that by lifting with your legs you can avoid injuring your back.
