Safety / Ergonomics

Safety and Ergonomics
Simply put, ergonomics is the interaction between man and machine. And poor ergonomic/safety practices cost companies about $125 Billion dollars annually. That’s why we specialize in implementing a proven solution based on three principles that keep any company’s biggest asset – their employees – on the job and performing at their highest level.
Detection:
Identify applications and processes that lead to injuries. And never allow worker’s resistance to change to impede progress and cost you big money and lost time due to unnecessary injury.
Implementation:
Executives report a $3 return for every $1 spent on ergonomic improvements. Focus on keeping a worker performing at close to 100% by making the actual work process as easy and non-tiring as possible.
Prevention:
Improve morale, reduce absenteeism, lower insurance costs and premiums will be the hard cost savings immediately realized. Create a team of managers, employees and key EXPERT suppliers like The Tool House to make Ergonomics part of your culture.
Roll over each point for details:
Safety
Does your work environment promote success? Consider the following: lighting, noise, dust, Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) and trip hazards.
Educate your team
about key safety initiatives: be aware of vibration levels, torque reaction, noise levels, socket wear, collision of tools and production devices.

Introduce and foster
the idea of detection, implementation, prevention and continuous improvement.

Provide zero gravity arms, torque reaction arms, scissor lift benches, carts and lift assists.

Maintain appropriate product height, hose festooning, flooring, ease of finding tools and components.

Be aware of vibration
levels, torque reaction, noise levels, sockets and storage of tools.
