Send injuries packing

Article Abstract:

Ergonomics is the applied science that can be used to improve the design of jobs, workplaces and equipment in shipping and packaging industries to eliminate or minimize excessive reaching, bending, twisting, lifting, pinching, pushing and other actions by workers. To keep risk under control, management should check that any new equipment supplies have considered sound ergonomic principles in their design.
