Warehousing & Distribution

Warehousing & Distribution

In distribution and warehousing facilities, workers spend almost all of their time in moving and handling activities. As a result, they are constantly in danger of injury.

There are many causes of such injury, but the number one cause is lifting, followed by lifting-related activities - repetitive reaching, bending, stretching, and other contortions.

The solution is to find ways to eliminate lifting and lifting related activities.

Light Assembly

Light Assembly

Light assembly work may not require heavy lifting, but in many cases, it does involve reaching, bending, stooping, awkward positions, and other repetitious manual functions that can lead to cumulative trauma disorders.

The best way to avoid these productivity robbing conditions is to position the work at a comfortable height and angle. Even more important is the ability to alter the work position so the worker can perform task comfortably while standing or sitting.
