Safe standing solution
February 1st 2008 Schoeller Arca Systems
offers a range of
interlocking plastic floor
slats that are said to
provide a safe, non-slip,
stable surface. Specially
cushioned and comfortable
to walk, work or stand on,
they allow operators to work
longer and reduce the
likelihood of strain injuries,
known as musculoskeletal
disorders.
Russell Smith, business
sector manager, says "Back
and leg musculoskeletal
disorders, caused by
prolonged standing or
repetitive movement, are
problematic in many
industries and can cost
companies thousands of
pounds each year. Schoeller
Arca Systems' floor slats
help prevent injuries like
these, making for safer,
more comfortable working
environments."
Made of 100% recyclable
plastic, slats resist moisture,
oils and most acids and
chemicals. Goods can be
stored on the ground by
raising them above the floor
surface, keeping them
clean, safe and dry. In
addition, they protect
employees against slips and
falls by lifting foot traffic
above wet, slippery surfaces.
The various straights and
corner sections can be
combined and interlocked to
cover an entire floor, or
create islands where
employees face prolonged
periods of standing or
repetitive movement. More articles from Schoeller Arca Systems: |
