making a Difference

By adjusting the position of the worker to large or unwieldy work, proper ergonomics can be applied, and work can be performed within the accepted ranges of movement. In addition, multiple tasks can be performed, each in a proper work position by quickly and safely re-positioning the device for each task!

By doing so, proper ergonomic positioning and support of employees while performing each work task can improve work quality and productivity, reduce the stretching, straining, and reaching that can lead to acute injuries, and reduce the likelihood of cumulative trauma injuries that result in disability and workman’s comp claims!
