Muscle Strain
An assessment of your company's efforts to prevent muscle strain could significantly reduce the risks for employee injury.
Evaluate storage methods to be certain that there is no need for an employee to lift or handle heavy items.
Teach your employees proper lifting techniques and provide mechanical devices (forklifts, dollies) where necessary.
Finally, be sure that you use appropriate job descriptions as part of your hiring process to insure that employees are physically suited to the demands of their jobs.
An evaluation of your company's safety practices is just one of the services we provide. Call our office if you have concerns about safety at your workplace.
