How can tilt and lift tables cut down injuries in the workplace?

Adjustable Height Means Less Wear And Tear On The Worker

Tilt and lift tables are a big help in terms of good ergonomics. In the 'bad old days' when fixed height tables were installed in work areas to accommodate the 'average worker', everyone else was required to stoop or otherwise adjust themselves to an ill-suited work space.

Among the major workplace injuries are 'repetitive use' injuries, which include needless bending and stooping to accommodate fixed height work spaces. Your purchase of tilt and lift tables will eliminate a large amount of potential for such repetitive use injuries related to the back and spine.

With the advent of tilt and lift tables, your employees can customize their work area to suit their height and other factors. Employee ergonomics is a vital part of worker productivity. The money invested in tilt and lift tables today is the workers compensation claims you won't be paying tomorrow.
