UNION REPRESENTATIVES
Your fellow workers depend on you to champion their best interest in issues related to personal health and workplace safety.
Because of that fact, you may find it interesting to hear what the American Federation of Labour had to say regarding an ever-growing problem that affects you and your fellow union members:
- "Ergonomic hazards are the biggest job safety issue in the workplace today... affecting 5000 workers each day... we will continue to educate workers about ergonomic hazards and control measures so that they can take action and demand protections from employers."
The collection of soiled linen using traditional methods expose workers to significant ergonomic risk factors such as dangerous repetitive lifting and can result in unnecessary ergonomic or musculoskelatal injuries (MSI's). Sometimes these injuries are immediate, often they are cumulative, and increasingly the damage is chronic.
MHI's NO-LIFT SOILED LINEN COLLECTION SYSTEM:
- Virtually eliminates musculoskelatal and repetitive stress injuries
- Greatly reduces worker's exposure to misplaced contaminated needles and other sharps
- Reduces exposure to blood and bodily fluids
- Curtails airborne pathogens
An exhaustive study produced for the Workers Compensation Board of British Columbia concluded that the NO-LIFT SYSTEM had a positive impact on the workplace well being of 80% of hospital's staff, with a remarkable 94% of those workers giving it a good or excellent rating.
