Video: Preventing Repetitive Stress from Overhead Lifts with The Intelligent Safety Platform
Workers lifting objects overhead is a common task in many industries. Although it may seem harmless, it can lead to repetitive stress injury over time. This type of injury is caused by repetitive motions that put stress on the same body part, leading to pain, discomfort, and decreased mobility.
Safety managers can now prevent repetitive stress with the Intelligent Safety Platform, which can detect overhead lifts and generate reports detailing the risks to workers. Get a demo.
The consequences of a repetitive stress injury can be serious and long-lasting. In some cases, it may even lead to a worker’s compensation claim, which can result in lost time from work and significant medical expenses. In the worst-case scenario, it can even lead to permanent disability.
Fortunately, it is possible to prevent these injuries before they occur. Employers can implement ergonomic workstations and provide proper training for workers on safe lifting techniques. This can include the use of tools and equipment that reduce the strain on the body, such as lift assists and mechanical conveyors. Employers can also establish regular breaks and encourage workers to take time to stretch and move their bodies throughout the day.
In conclusion, while workers lifting objects overhead may seem harmless, it can lead to repetitive stress injury if not managed properly. Employers can take steps to prevent these injuries and protect their employees by implementing safe work practices and providing proper training. By doing so, they can help ensure a safe and healthy work environment for all employees.
