S.O.D. Driving into position Problems with spreading concrete… - Concrete, by its nature is heavy (1 cubic foot weights approx. 148 pounds). - Repetitive, awkward, high force motions may eventually lead to lower back, shoulder, or wrist fatigue, pain, and / or injury. SAFETY CONCERNS The PowerRake ® virtually eliminates all injuries, tripping, or falls related to raking concrete. How does good body position affect productivity? - Working in a neutral body position is less tiring, less fatiguing, and safer. - Less tired workers means more productivity. - 5% increase in productivity equals 24 minutes per 8 hr day, yields 50% more profitability * * Scott Humrickhouse, Director of FMI As referenced by NIOSH Body Positioning Tip Sheet sponsored by CPWR, produced by Build It Smart, LSHFNA, LIUNA, AGC of Washington, Univ. of Washington, Western Washington Cement Masons Training Program and the StewartPrezant Ergonomics Group.
