El cuidado médico puede ser uno de los pocos puntos brillantes en la economía americana. Con el bebé Boomers apenas que comienza a incorporar la edad de dolores y de dolores (si no conocido como retiro), se espera que la industria del cuidado médico crezca por algunas décadas para venir. Los trabajos del cuidado médico rematan la lista de la mayoría de los reclutadores del empleo y están dibujando números enormes de los trabajadores futuros a los programas de entrenamiento. No hay trabajo recesión-prueba, pero el cuidado médico viene cerca.

Cuál es interesante es que el Boomers que se alinea para el tratamiento también abarca el número más grande de trabajadores actuales del cuidado médico. La economía pobre ha animado a muchas enfermeras, a ayudantes y a otros trabajadores del cuidado médico que renuncien el retiro y queden orientadas el trabajo. Los horario flexibles y por horas disponibles en muchos segmentos de la industria del cuidado médico han permitido para que los trabajadores balanceen responsabilidades del trabajo con la necesidad de cuidar para los niños, padres que envejecían o esposo lisiado, más futuro aumentando la edad media de los trabajadores experimentados del cuidado médico. El envejecimiento de los medios de la mano de obra del cuidado médico para los hospitales, clínicas de reposo, asistió a centros vivos y otros patrones del cuidado médico deben acomodar las necesidades físicas que cambian de sus trabajadores.

When companies purchase material handling equipment they usually consider the product and where and how it’s going to be moved. What they leave out of the equation is people. But as Bob Trebilcock reminds us in a March 24, 2009 posting on Modern Materials Handling online, it’s people who move products and supplies from point to point. Neglecting to consider the impact of workers on production will invalidate your productivity assessments.

Trebilcock mentions programs some companies have implemented to improve worker morale and health that were showcased at the recent annual meeting of the Conveyor Equipment Manufacturers Association. He talks about one manufacturer’s installation of a company cafeteria for worker use to cut down on driving time during lunch breaks and to provide workers easy access to nutritious food. He mentions a firm that opened an onsite medical clinic and pharmacy to improve employee health, conduct medical screenings and reduce medical costs to its self-insured health plan.

What surprised us here at DJ Products is that Trebilcock failed to mention the health, cost and productivity benefits of using ergonomically-designed material handling equipment. Moving to ergonomic material handling equipment has been proven to drastically reduce on-the-job musculoskeletal injuries, improve worker morale and significantly increase productivity. Equipment costs are generally recouped within the first year, but savings in medical, health insurance, disability and workers’ compensation costs continue, as do savings from increased productivity. If a company is concerned about its workers’ health and safety, a move to ergonomic material handling equipment should head the list of improvements to be made.

A leader in the design and manufacture of ergonomic material handling equipment, DJ Products produces a wide variety of motorized carts and battery-powered cart movers for every application. From heavy industrial/manufacturing and assembly line settings to the busy, narrow corridors of hospitals and hotels, DJ Products’ ergonomic material handling equipment is improving workers’ health and safety and increasing their productivity across America.

DJ Products’ designs its ergonomic material handling equipment to take the strain of labor off the backs (and legs and arms and shoulders) of workers and put it where it belongs, on the material handling equipment they are using. Workers avoid the aches and pains that can make them less productive. Ergonomic equipment is less tiring to operate, keeping workers alert and productive for the entire length of their shift. Ergonomic equipment is easier to operate, allowing workers to complete each assignment more quickly, increasing shift productivity.

If you really want to do something that will benefit your workers and increase productivity, make the switch to ergonomic material handling. Visit the DJ Products website and let one of our ergonomic equipment specialists tell you how.

If you need to move wheeled loads or equipment, DJ Products’ CartCaddy pullers, pushers and movers provide the perfect solutions. The ergonomic design of all our products takes the physical burden of moving wheeled loads and equipment off workers, preventing debilitating strains and other serious musculoskeletal injuries. DJ Products’ CartCaddies allow a single worker to easily and safely transport supplies, products or equipment that would ordinarily require the manual muscle of two or more workers. For many applications in manufacturing, fulfillment, retail, medical care, hospitality, food and beverage, pharmaceutical and other industries, DJ Products’ CartCaddy pushers and movers provide smart, safe, cost-effective solutions to moving heavy loads and equipment.

DJ Products makes ergonomic CartCaddy cart and equipment pullers, pushers and movers in a variety of sizes to handle any job:

• The CartCaddyShorty is the smallest, most maneuverable tug on the market today, capable of handling loads up to 3,000 pounds.
• Our CartCAddy5WP has added weight over the drive tires to create the greater traction necessary to move heavier loads, from 3,000 to 20,000 pounds.
• The CartCaddyHD is the workhorse you need to move heavy duty loads and equipment up to 50,000 pounds.
• Our RiderCaddy is designed to transport the heaviest loads and can easily move loaded trailers. A built-in platform allows the operator to either sit or stand on the caddy while moving loads at speeds up to 6 mph.  

All DJ Products’ CartCaddy movers are equipped with standard 3-1/2-volt batteries (36-volt system) that provide 16 hours of continuous use before recharging — plenty of power for two full shifts. Our CartCaddies are designed as walk-behind units (or ride-behind in the case of our RiderCaddy) to provide operators maximum control and visibility. Variable-speed, ergonomically-designed twist grips prevent carpal tunnel syndrome and allow operators to maintain smooth control during maneuvering. CartCaddies are capable of both forward and reverse operation and speeds from 0 to 3 mph. A safety stop switch, an essential safety feature, is conveniently located on the back of the handle bar box, allowing the operator to stop the mover instantly to prevent injury.
