Background

K-Line Trailers worked with a WorkSafeBC Ergonomist team to better manage the risk of MSIs in their workplace.

Risk identification and understanding the concerns of workers

K-Line Trailers’ plan began with considering which tasks posed the highest risk of strain injuries.

Controlling the risks

Elimination of several difficult tasks and substitution of a physical task with a power tool was one of the keys to success.

Continuous improvement

K-Line Trailers remains committed to the process of continuous improvement by looking for other opportunities to further minimize the risk of MSIs.
