Grocery Warehousing Has Special OSHA Ergonomic Needs Addressed by Self-Stabilizing Hand Truck

 

Standish, MI -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/21/2015 -- Delivering Excellence, sponsored by Magline, shared that grocery warehousing has special OSHA ergonomic considerations. A grocery warehouse has three main functions: receive bulk goods from the supplier, order picking desired goods within the warehouse, and ship goods to customers. An OSHA eTool described ergonomic hazards and solutions with an emphasis on traditional order picking, accounts for a large number of musculoskeletal disorders. Other areas addressed in this eTool are transport, storage, packaging, and work practice. The Magline self-stabilizing hand truck addresses many of these OSHA issues.
