Description

Manual handling is an important risk in the food and catering industry. This checklist is meant to raise the issue in meetings of the company's OSH committee (ASA) and to stimulate a discussion about measures to prevent health risks of workers due to manual handling.

 

Beim Transport von Waren im oder außerhalb des Betriebes werden meist Waren angehoben und getragen. Das Thema „Ergonomie beim Transport“ ist daher ein Thema, das viele Betriebe betrifft. Mit Hilfe dieser ASA-Checkliste soll im Rahmen des Arbeitsschutzausschusses diskutiert werden, was der Betrieb tun kann, um Gesundheitsbeeinträchtigungen zu verhindern.
