Do O.S.H.A. Lifting Advisories Disregard Inguinal Hernia Risks?

The federal office of occupational healthy and safety administration and innumerable workplace safety programs advise on proper lifting techniques--typically a starting squat position or stoop. Inguinal hernia of the lower abdomen towards the groin experience particular vulnerability toward the groin, and down and outward internal pressure is increased with a squatting position, or climbing ladders shouldering weight at each up leg rising step.

I wonder if many corporate work-place safety instructors are cognizant that proper lifting techniques may increase the chance for injury or re-injury of inguinal hernia? It is simply an idea that I had this morning. Medical technical specialists would need to investigate the issue for-themselves.
