6 Out of Shape and Getting Older Your Workforce Needs Help!

7 There are no manual material handling issues as long as the people hired look like these folks!

8 The two largest issues effecting Workman s Compensation costs are: Aging Obesity

9 The Aging Workforce Understanding the issues In 1972, average age of a US worker was 28. Today it s 46. The number of workers aged 45+ has doubled since According to the AARP, the number of people 55 years and older in the labor force was about 18.2 million in 2000 It rose to 25.2 million this year and it is projected to rise to 32 million by Source Ergonomics ASSE Feb 2009 Vol 2, No2 Dr. Ronald Porter, PT, CEAS, Director, Back School Atlanta, What Works with the Aging Workforce 2. Gaither, A., (2003). Health and Safety in the Aging Workforce, Retrieved January 20, 2006, from

10 Why Do Older Workers Work? Studies found many older workers plan to work past the traditional retirement age (Galinsky) This trend can be attributed, in part, to the reduced value of retirement portfolios/income.(administration on Aging) And they work because they want to, because: they are highly engaged in their work satisfied with their jobs committed to their organizations (Galinsky)

11 As We Age. Maximal Strength Muscle Mass Bone density Visual and Auditory, Acuity Fitness Aerobic Capacity Cognitive Speed/Function Obesity Arthritis High BP Diabetes Depression/Heart Disease Menopausal and Post Menopausal Issues

12 Obesity in the Workforce Definition of Obesity.. Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher. BMI: A measure of an adult s weight in relation to their height and age.

13 The Costs of Obesity More than one-third (34.9% ) of U.S. adults are obese. Obesity-related conditions include heart disease, stroke, diabetes and certain types of cancer. The annual medical cost of obesity was $147 billion; the individual medical costs are $1,429 higher than those of normal weight. Source: CDC NIOSH

14 The Effects of obesity Obese workers. file twice as many WC claims have 13 more lost workdays. claim 6.8 times more medical claims under WC indemnity costs are 11 times higher. body parts most prone to injury are: back, lower extremities, wrist, and hands. The most common causes of these injuries were lifting, lowering & slipping a.k.a. Manual Material Handling. Source: CNA Insurance

24 Dave Lippert Hamilton Caster and Mfg.

25 Freestanding workstation cranes Effortless and precise control Articulating hanger assemblies Enhanced structure stability no cross bracing

26 Single & Double girder cranes Increased efficiency with handling heavy loads in tight work areas

27 Monorail Systems and Aluminum Modular cranes

28 Manipulator and Stacker Cranes Optimum ergonomic load handling

29 Pillar & Wall Mount Jib cranes

30 Vacuum Technology End of line box palletizing handling 55 lb. cases 30

31 Vacuum Technology Application Maneuver and rotate composite shrouds Benefits 1 operator vs. 4 to 8 manually Reduction in ergonomic risks 31

32 Vacuum Technology Permits access to tall loads for Palletizing & depalletizing large or awkward to handle boxes 32

33 Vacuum Technology Keg palletizing 50% productivity increase World of Vacuum Technology 33

34 Work Stations Providing the right work station improves productivity

35 Properly placed supplies and tools eliminates walking around and promotes a highly efficient work space Work Stations These are adjustable height benches

36 Work Stations Laminate Work Surfaces Electrostatic discharge option 1-1/8 high-density core a layer of plastic laminate Industrial grades (very durable) Description Edged with high-impact-resistant PVC Notes Economical; most popular laminate Edge rounded at 90 ; Cleanroom has laminated underside Edge provides significant comfort for operators resting hand or arm on edge 1-1/4 rounded radius black molded bumper edge Edge resists damage; rounded edge provides some arm/hand comfort

37 Manipulator Technology GLASS HANDLING 30 to 130 lbs.

38 Manipulator Technology PANEL HANDLING 50 to 110 lbs.

39 Manipulator Technology MUFFLER HANDLING 38 to 46 lbs.

40 Intelligent Assist Device (IAD) Precise and rapid movement

41 Lifting & Positioning Inexpensive stackers to transport pallet loads can also double as a positioner.

42 Lifting & Positioning Positioners respond to the load. Leaving the operator to concentrate on the task

43 Lifting Technology Lightweight highly efficient electric lifts allow older or out of shape workers to effectively move material

44 Lifting & Positioning Give the worker without the upper body strength.. the right tools to get the job done

45 Lifting & Positioning High hinge tilters are ideal for gaining access to the bottom and back of containers

46 Lifting & Positioning When needing to get stuff out of containers use tilters or dumpers

47 Lifting & Positioning Powered hand trucks

48 Wheel and Caster Technology Pneumatic Soft faced, molded and composition Metal

49 Wheel and Caster Technology Caster styles

50 Wheel and Caster Technology

51 Wheel and Caster Technology Light duty specialty carts and industrial trucks

52 Wheel and Caster Technology The right casters can: Reduce push-pull forces Minimize rolling noise Protect floors Increase service life

53 Wheel and Caster Technology Examples of good applications Platform elevated Correct push bar height Larger wheels Examples of poor applications No push bar Wheels too small Platform too low

54 Carton Flow / Liquor Application Benefits SKU density reduces walking Reduces reaching and bending. Ergonomic presentation angle

55 Flow Rack Application Benefits increased density reduces walking Assisted pick reduces overexertion Improved organization for a safer workplace

56 Carton Flow / Retrofit Application

57 Carton Flow - Retrofit Application
