Conveyor Wrapping Station in Forest Nurseries

Description: A two-page information sheet on ways to reduce musculoskeletal disorders for forestry nursery workers who wrap plants on a conveyor belt. The resource briefly describes musculoskeletal disorders (called MSIs in the resource)  and presents two general solutions: adjusting your workstation and working from a position of strength. There are specific recommendations for workers and employers with picture references under these general guidelines for packing station workers.

This is one of four resources this developer has for specific workstations in forestry nurseries.
