| Packer reel support improves lifting area safety |
DESCRIPTION
The lifting of paper reels for the cement bagging operation was previously carried out by a forklift truck lifting a pallet of three reels up to a height of three metres. The reels were then placed on the upper pallet area through a forklift gate and manually manoeuvred into place.
The introduction of a paper reel lifter, reel supports, permanent barriers and floor markings have eliminated several hazards and risks.
BENEFITS
1 .Using reel supports prevents the possibility of reels falling over and eliminates all manual handling of reels
2. The introduction of reel lifting tackle eliminates the hazards of a forklift truck lifting reels three metres in the air
3. Permanent barriers make working on the upper platform safer
4. A hatched area clearly defines the lifting zone
5. Floor barriers prevent people from walking into the lifting area.
