MSDs and unwanted fumes at Mercedes-Benz
TMS et fumées indésirables chez Mercedes-Benz
Description
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.
The CHSCT was involved in the discussions, and the improvements to the position were validated at a meeting. For example, the installation of a lifting table has greatly improved the working conditions.
