Proper Lifting
These are all words that can be used to describe the recent job coaching session which took place in Casa Grande, Arizona. Employees, who work in Box Drop handling KD's, began seeing an increase in injuries. Because of this, they were given a brief classroom session in which they were instructed in proper lifting using the "stick method", posture education, and ergonomic training. They were then challenged to demonstrate and facilitate problem solving in a live coaching session.
The employees took training to a practical level. They were all challenged to come up with a safe and effective methods of handling and moving KD's. Their methods must meets all safety criteria in order to perform a safe lift as well as maintain functionality. Employees gave one another feedback, learning from each others mistakes, and created healthy habits which was all lead by their peers.
This environment created a genuine respect for one another and brought ergonomic training to life in a practical way. For those of you involved great job! You now set the tone for the entire site. Build healthy habits, encourage one another, and create a safe work environment.
