INDUSTRIAL SAFETY FOR THE MANUAL HANDLING OF 200 LT / 55 GALLON STEEL DRUMS

Besides facilitating the labor of workers in industrial environments in which the manual movement of 55 gallon/200 Lt drums is part of the daily work routine, these tools were invented and designed to avoid dangerous, complicated and costly work-related accidents that usually generate a number of collateral problems, both for the affected party as well as for the employer.
Among these collateral problems we can mention production slow-downs, expensive legal and medical costs, absenteeism and the bad mood among the labor force as a result of accidents on the shop floor. For companies committed to Continuous Working-Environment Improvement Policies such as those established in the ISO 9000, ISO 14000 and OHSAS 18000 for example, these devices offer their workers greater physical safety in the work place, a reduced probability of work related accidents and a higher possibility of not having environmentally contaminating accidents.
