Description

The production of pork loin at the Spanish meat company Elaborados Julián Mairal is a process that involves considerable physical effort by their workers. To prevent MSDs, managers and employees consulted with an external prevention service. This resulted in the installation of new equipment for the production process. Employees now work more efficiently and safely. Elaborados Julián Mairal is one of the commended examples of the 15th Healthy Workplaces Good Practice Awards competition.
