Bad Practice

Description:
Awkward posture, kneeling during grinding operation. Whenever possible try to assume a neutral comfortable work posture. If you are physically able to do so, warming and stretching before work and taking mini-breaks during the day to slowly stretch out can help alleviate muscle aches and fatigue. Grinding is a noisy operation, use hearing protection devises whenever you grind.For additional information of noise go to ELCOSH Noise.For additional information on ergonomic issues you can go to the Laborers Health and Safety Fund ergonomic resources page, Ergonomics.
