Material Handlers

Lift, carry, push or pull-but do it safely. Efficient and safe handling of materials is vital to the overall productivity of a job site by providing a continuous flow of parts and assembly. Unfortunately, the improper handling of materials often results in accidents and costly injuries. For this reason, it is critical that all employees learn the right and wrong way to handle materials on a job site as well as proper work practices and recognizing methods to eliminate accidents from occurring.
