Description

The Girardeau company, based in Beaurepaire in Vendée, specialises in masonry and structural work. Faced with the reality of a physical job that puts the backs of professionals to a severe test, the management has implemented a prevention approach that aims to limit the carrying of loads. Limiting the carrying of loads involves supplying workers with raw materials as close as possible to their workstations

La limitation des ports de charges passe par l’alimentation des compagnons en matière première au plus près de leur poste
