Various embodiments are directed to systems and methods for determining whether an individual uses proper posture to perform a job duty/task. For example, systems may determine whether an individual utilizes proper posture when lifting a heavy item from a floor. Accordingly, various embodiments comprise an image capture device and a central computing entity configured to receive item information/data for an item to be moved by an individual and to determine whether the item information/data satisfies one or more image collection criteria. Upon determining the item information/data satisfies one or more of the image collection criteria, the computing entity may activate an image capture device to collect image information/data of individuals performing the job duty/task, to compare collected image information/data against a plurality of reference images, and to determine whether the collected image information/data is indicative of the individual performing the job duty/task according to proper posture considerations.
