À l’issue de réflexions menées avec la Carsat Sud-Est, l’entrepôt d’Office Depot situé Saint-Martin-de-Crau a initié plusieurs mesures de prévention des troubles musculosquelettiques. Avec, à la clé, une plus grande polyvalence des salariés. Sur proposition des salariés, les racks situés au sol ont été relevés pour permettre aux préparateurs de passer leurs pieds en dessous et ainsi moins se courber. En complément de ces actions visant à réduire les efforts physiques, la direction encourage ses salariés, par un complément de salaire notamment, à une plus grande polyvalence

La polyvalence, un remède à la fatigue
Description
Following discussions with Carsat Sud-Est, the Office Depot warehouse in Saint-Martin-de-Crau has initiated several measures to prevent musculoskeletal disorders. The result is greater versatility among employees. At the suggestion of the employees, the racks on the floor were raised to allow the pickers to put their feet underneath and thus bend less. In addition to these actions aimed at reducing physical effort, the management encourages its employees to be more versatile, in particular through additional multi-skilling.
