Two thousand bus shelters have been installed in the capital before autumn 2015. The company JC Decaux, which won the tender, is responsible for their installation. This is a major project, for which it has worked on the design of specific handling aids.
Specialising in the manufacture of insulating glass, the Glassver plant of Saint-Gobain Glass Solution Menuisiers Industriels (SGGSMI) has taken steps to limit the risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). An integrated automatic cutting and assembly line has been installed, as well as handling aids on the traditional lines.
Sew-Usocome, a company specialising in electrical drive systems, has set up its third French factory in Brumath, Alsace. The design of this assembly unit has integrated principles of prevention against work accidents and musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) by limiting handling to the minimum.
In the heart of the Sologne region, the Trigano Remorques company has installed a system that allows trailers to be placed vertically and picked up using handling trolleys, avoiding the need for operators to lift several hundred kilos. In the Brinon-sur-Sauldre and Reuilly factories, numerous improvements have led to the modernisation and reorganisation of production in recent years.
By introducing "handling care" and the idea of "zero carrying", the Paris Saint-Joseph Hospital Group, located in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, is spearheading a cultural upheaval in practices. The approach consists, after assessing the patient's abilities, of accompanying him or her in safety by encouraging autonomy, without constraint for the carer.
The Arie de Boom Services shipyard has been involved in a continuous improvement process for about ten years.
The risks in a shipyard are numerous, due to the various trades present and the multiple work configurations: working at height, handling, chemical risk, co-activity or overlapping tasks.
As part of a continuous improvement approach, Arie de Boom Services has equipped itself with machinery to mechanise handling: cranes, multidirectional gondolas, escalators with handrails.
On the occasion of the renovation of two of its workshops the Mercedes-Benz CTT plant in Molsheim, in the Bas-Rhin region, carried out an initiative to make its workstations safer, with the support of Carsat Alsace-Moselle, targeting in particular risks of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and those associated with welding fumes.
Hairdressing is a sector particularly affected by musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). Carsat Centre-Ouest, the Direccte and an inter-company occupational health service in the Haute-Vienne have devoted a prevention action to this sector. It brought to light a new work tool, scissors without rings, with potential benefits in terms of MSDs prevention.
The family business Sodiporc, which specialises in the manufacture of half-industrial and half-crafted charcuterie products, is committed to improving working conditions for its employees.
With the help of the Carsat, it has been able to double its efforts to prevent MSDs.
The company has worked on the ergonomics of cutting stations and a sausage production line, in order to limit restrictive movements and the clutter of work areas.
CGF CHARCUTERIE is a small family business.
The traditional charcuterie activity exposes to risks of musculoskeletal disorders.
The company has equipped itself with several tools to facilitate handling or to relieve physical operations such as cleaning trolleys.
A collective occupational health policy has been developed among the team.
Ideas proposed by employees can be implemented.
