October 9, 2009, Newsletter Issue #187: The Step Ladder As Safety Tool


1

Tip of the Week


Many safety agencies describe a "risky lift" or a "manual material handling operation" as one that requires a worker to lift a load above the level of his or her heart. If you have a combination of mechanically-assisted and manual material handling tasks in your dock or warehouse, the addition of a three-step ladder can greatly reduce the chances of injury from simple retrievals from shelving and storage with multiple racks. If your workers can step up to items on the shelves, they aren't required to place their back muscles at risk from pulling a box or tool down from overhead. A small stepladder or stool may not look like a safety tool at first glance, but it's easy to see how it can contribute to your safety bottom line.
