What are ergonomic safety products? Ergonomic safety products are products that are designed to reduce both the physical stress and potential subsequent injuries associated with working. This is usually accomplished by modifying work to fit the worker instead of the opposite.
Diverse Supply sells many types of ergonomic safety products. The link to these products can be seen at: https://www.platformsandladders.com/ergonomic-solutions/
Working with pallets can be a common source of injuries. If a pallet is on the floor, bending to add, organize or lift items can result in a work-related injury. As one becomes fatigued through work, the risk of an injury increases. Pallet positioners can reduce the risks of these types of injuries by allowing the worker to raise the pallet off the floor to a comfortable working height. Our most popular pallet positioner is the EZ Loader Pallet Positioner.
Another source of pallet related injuries is from manual shrink wrapping of pallets. When a worker walks around a pallet holding a heavy roll of shrink wrap preparing the pallet for shipping, lower back injuries and trip and fall injuries are two many types of injuries related to this process. Stretch wrap machines can ergonomically fit this work to the worker. Our Powered Stretch Wrap Machine has many available options to help meet a multitude of different shrink-wrapping considerations.
When work requires an employee to walk a lot during the day, fatigue can set in increasing the likelihood of a fall resulting in a work-related injury. An Industrial Bicycle (actually a tricycle) or the Amigo Mobility, which is both a person and cargo mover, may be a way to reduce the walking requirements of one or more people at your location.
Lifting and then moving heavy objects cause many work-related injuries each year. For items that are difficult to palletize and then move with a forklift, a portable crane may be the better solution. Portable cranes come in both manual and powered movement models. The Portable Cantilever Hoist is our most popular manually moved model. Powered movement models are more expensive than manually moved models. On the low-cost end of the spectrum is the Electric Powered Floor Crane. For more complex material handling necessities by a crane, the Brandon 6 Mini Crane may be able to handle the job.
The height of the task at hand can often lead to work related injuries. These injuries may be reduced by either raising the worker to the height of the task or raising the work to the working height of the worker. The Posi Crank Work Platform can raise a worker 19” higher than the floor. The Ergonomic Adjustable Work Table is available in several models that have adjustable table heights. One of these two ergonomic safety products may fit the needs of one of your employees.
