IT is definitely a job that has to know how to pick up heavy objects. I have a friend who was working as a consultant configuring corporate telephony systems. One time, he showed up to an install that was running a bit behind schedule. He stepped in to help finish the server room set up and ended up permanently damaging his back.
Yeah, I worked for an American company in Europe, but I asked because at least the labor laws in my country required they showed me box lifting training too.
I work from home incorporate IT but I still have to do training on how to pick up heavy boxes.
Even when I was in the office the heaviest thing I tended to pick up was a toner cartridge.

Unless you’re working in a DC or service desk you ain’t lifting shit in most tech jobs.
It’s a crazy vast field. Due to the uptake of the cloud this is becoming way less common.
Are you in the EU?
I’m pretty sure the company is US based
What. How do you not know what country your contract was signed in?
Companies have to follow employment law in the country you’re in. But American companies often have to do local stuff like training videos as well.
