ERGONOMICALLY-DESIGNED EQUIPMENT HELPS REDUCE WORKERS' COMP CLAIMS

摘要

Buying and spec'ing trucks to meet the diverse operating needs of your entire workforce is a challenge.You can spec your fleet to a "bell curve" and deal with the exceptions on either end of the spectrum by adding ergonomic-friendly upfit equipment or swapping a driver from a large to a small truck or vice versa. Ergonomics must be high on the fleet manager's "radar screen" because it can significantly impact the bottom line by reducing workers' comp costs, improving driver productivity, and reducing fatigue-induced operator errors that can lead to preventable accidents.
