Protect your workers and improve company culture
Safety first, always. Employees should be treated with care, and that includes equipping them with protective equipment and creating a work environment that values productivity without the expense of an individual’s safety and well-being. In particular, logistics and office workers alike regularly suffer from back problems. While back problems can occur from lasting injury, a worker can exacerbate these issues with constant stress. So what can the employer do?
Exosuits are one method some supply chain companies are turning to. These can reduce back strain and increase the range of motion. With these items, workers can feel not only more valued by their employer, but also empowered with renewed strength and durability. The United States Army is currently one of the leading users of an exosuit.
A fire at the BioLab chemical plant in Conyers, Georgia, on Sunday caused major disruptions and evacuations after a sprinkler malfunction led to the release of a large chemical plume.
