OSHA reports an increase in recent years in the reporting of cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs) and other work-related disorders due to ergonomic hazards, which are physical conditions that can pose risk of injury to the musculoskeletal system.

With poultry workers twice as likely to suffer serious injuries and six times more likely to get sick on the job than other private sector workers, federal safety and health officials in four Southeaster U.S. states are acting to reduce musculoskeletal disorders and ergonomic stressors impacting the industry.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has awarded $10.5 million in one-year federal safety and health training grants to 80 nonprofit organizations across the nation for education and training programs that help high-risk workers and their employers recognize serious workplace hazards, implement injury prevention measures and understand their rights and responsibilities.

The Material Transfer low-headroom portable bulk bag discharger features a sanitary, no-tube penetration design; all the components are mounted on welded, solid-body stand-offs.

The ZIP-PAK SLIDER SELECT slider system enhances consumer usability through ergonomic design. Capable of speeds of over 150 closures per minute, the slider features advanced leak resistance to help keep food products fresh and seal in flavor; a small opening or protruding finger is not required for the clip to work properly.

Featuring sturdy structural foam panels and drop-down doors, the Buckhorn BN4845 48- x 45-in. bulk box has an injection-molded, 2-piece welded base.
