Keep Employees Safe With a Pallet Stretch Wrapper

The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) warns that manually stretch wrapping pallets can injure workers. That is why OSHA recommends using a machine such as a pallet stretch wrapper instead of man power to perform these acts at your place of work. OSHA is concerned about the following when it comes to injuries at the workplace over manually stretch wrapping pallets:
  • Back injury: employees may be injured when wrapping a load in plastic for transit because they must bend at the waist to wrap the bottom of the pallets while supporting the plastic dispenser.
  • Finger injury: employees can also cut their fingers because they often stick their fingers into the open end of the tubes to stream off the wrap.
