Or they may be chronic, such as backache, sore shoulders or elbows, or numb or tingling wrists and hands caused by repetitive work. This book shows simple and cost-effective ways of reducing both acute and chronic injuries. The publication contains 100 'real-life' cases studies - the solutions were successful answers to actual problems experienced by companies. Contents: Raw materials handling; Production; Packing into containers; Stacking/moving containers; Handling equipment; Offsite delivery. |
