Prevent ergonomic injuries in retail & FMCG sector - Food and Beverage
Soter devices & automated training programs help retail & FMCG companies avoid ergonomic injuries among their workforce. Reduce Overtime & Repetition Risk. Repetition is a leading cause of injury among retail workers involved in manual handling activities, while overtime puts any worker in an extra stressed position leading to increased injury risk. Using Soter wearable devices, employers can automate the process of risk reduction & monitor each employee`s health status in real-time to apply changes before injuries happen.
Once a worker begins to feel fatigued, movements are affected which may result in muscle spasms and lower back pain. Soter sensors analyze each worker’s body movements in real-time and notify them when actions may lead to an injury. A personalized AI-driven training program supports them with the most relevant exercises helping them to relieve muscle stress and prevent injuries.
When a large workforce is distributed across the globe, or affected with a high staff turnover, it’s almost impossible to deliver the same manual handling training experience to every new starter. Soter wearables educate workers effectively on safe techniques in auto-pilot mode that lead to behavioral improvements & a positive lifting culture, consolidating the learning experience, whether the worksite site consists of 10 or 1000 workers.
Strain or injury caused by repetitive motion is the second most costly within the retail industry, and, on average, requires 24 days away from work. As well, 23% of all claims costs result from incorrect lifting technique. Soter wearable devices have been proven to reduce up to 55% of back & shoulder injuries, which significantly assists to reduce claims costs and improve overall operational effectiveness of the workforce.
