Problem: Employee injured lower back while removing hinges from 55 gallon drum. A half filed, 55 gallon
drum is tipped over on side for access while hinges are scooped out into a box for shipping department. This improper
removal process requires correction.
|
Solution: A metal bracket is placed on this side of the barrel to hold a cardboard box; a special magnet
is used to lift hinges safety out of the barrel. This new process is 75% faster. Reduces exposure to back injury
and reduces the weight of each load to a 17 pound capacity.
