Where workplace safety is concerned, we know there's a tool for that. The Loss Control team at LUBA Workers' Comp is dedicated to providing expert guidance on essential safety equipment for your business.
Here are three tools that help prevent lifting and muscle strain injuries in employees’ everyday tasks: the Gorilla Gripper, the OneWaySlide, and the JoistMate Attic Safety Platform.
Get a Grip
Manually moving large flat construction materials such as sheets of plywood is an ergonomic challenge. Ladders and stairs complicate the problem. The Gorilla Gripper provides a more ergonomic handle for such materials easing the splinters in hands, shoulder, and back injuries. This tool can be used in the building material delivery industry, construction on jobsites, and others.
Slide In
Technicians working in attics often have to cross, stand, and kneel on the wooden joists in cramped, hot, dim, and awkward areas of an attic. Falls in attics are not only dangerous and painful, many times it can be fully or partially through a ceiling. One solution is a portable safety platform to place in the attic at the specific worksite. It provides a safe and stable place to work and prevent falls. This tool can be used by the HVAC industry, electrical contractors, alarm system companies, telecommunications, and internet providers.
