material handling healthcare
TRANSCRIPT
The average cost of a work-related injury is $38,000*. In healthcare, heavy lifting is a necessary part of the job. Equipment, supplies and laundry need to be moved regularly in a fast-paced environment, increasing the risk of worker injury. Ergonomically designed equipment improves safety and worker productivity, reducing costs, while quiet casters reduce noise, increasing patient satisfaction.
