Improve the ergonomics with a lifting table
Ergonomics is the doctrine of how the body works and moves. By taking into account the ergonomics, unnecessary injuries and sick days can be prevented.
Ergonomic health is challenged by manual work that increases the risk of employees becoming exhausted, getting injuries and a high sickness absence. Some of the major risk factors for injuries are:
- Awkward work situations (forward bends, twist)
- Repeated movements (promise, carry)
- Violent effort (pushing, pulling, carrying, lifting heavy)
You can avoid the risk factors and thereby increase the efficiency of getting some good lifting solutions. Jema Lift has a large selection of Lifting tables, covering many work situations. Our lifting tables can be used as welding tables, mounting tables, parcel tables, ramp tables, pitchers for operators, palletizing.
