Material Handling Safety Part Two
One of the key factors in material handling safety involves ergonomics. Repetitive use injuries related to environments where material handling solutions should be found are widespread.
There are a wide variety of material handling solutions that can ease or eliminate bad ergonomics. The Opti Bench, for example, features a variable height work surface to accommodate workers of different heights. With a five hundred pound capacity, this material handling solution can handle pneumatic wrenches, tool boxes, spare parts and many other work-related items.
Be sure and ask your customer service representative how you can give your work centers better ergonomics. Sometimes, an assessment can be made to see about replacing old material handling solutions that don't conform to modern ergonomic standards.
