Operator safety is key in modern day industrial manufacturing. Despite the drive toward automated technologies, having a strong focus on industrial ergonomics and safety in your workplace keeps your operators comfortable, happy, and productive.
Long-term exposure to vibrating handheld tools can, if not controlled, lead to damaged nerve cells, vascular injury and a number of musculoskeletal disorders. A similarly serious issue is high sound levels, which are present in many different manufacturing processes and depending on the magnitude of the issue, can create a feeling of stress and fatigue or even occupational hearing loss.
Partnering with you for a safer, more ergonomic workplace
The answer to these, and other common safety risks in industrial manufacturing, is implementing more ergonomic solutions on the factory floor. And who knows this better than the company whose commitment to ergonomics remains just as strong as the day our ergonomic program was established back in 1958. Our tools and solutions are for example developed to reduce vibration exposure by isolating vibrations from gripped surfaces, but also reduce heavy noise emissions. No matter the tool, its design will ensure operator safety.
