Good Housekeeping
Regular housekeeping to eliminate clutter can reduce reaching, bending, or twisting when handling materials, tools, or objects. Keep floor surfaces dry and free of obstructions to help eliminate slipping and tripping hazards.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance of tools and equipment can help reduce or prevent problems in work tasks. For example, keeping cutting or drilling tools sharpened and in good condition can reduce the amount of force and repetition required when using the tools.
Exercise and Stretching
Long-term, sensible exercise and stretching have many benefits, which may include better health and reduced injuries. New, returning, or injured employees should gradually increase their physical activity.
Cooperation
Get help when needed to handle heavy loads. Some companies set weight limits (like 50 pounds) above which a helper is required.
