Assembly workers, whether involved in the early stages of production or in final finish, often engage in repetitive work that can lead to wrist and hand injuries (carpal tunnel syndrome), elbow injuries (cubital tunnel syndrome), and various other forms of cumulative trauma such as tendonitis. Reaching and lifting in awkward positions can also produce low back injuries to the lumbar spine, or shoulder injuries. Press operators also often engage in heavy lifting, with dyes weighing in excess of 75 pounds. Of course working in a busy plant can present risks of falls, collisions, and injury on power tools, and other equipment. An unsafe work environment can also cause injury to the lungs, which is referred to as occupational illness or disease. Call us for assistance in the event you have sustained injury during the course of your production and assembly work.
