DOES THIS MAYBE SOUND FAMILIAR TO YOU?
It’s Friday morning in late autumn and the morning shift in Shipping is starting. Several pallets need to leave the warehouse by 10 am, as an important customer requires them on Monday to finish their machines.
As temperatures drop and sunlight decreases, the number of sick days is on the rise like very year. And then there is also tight budgets and the morning shift being understaffed anyway.
To make things worse, two of your employees have just called in sick. The first one slipped a disk while bending down strapping a pallet. He can’t say when exactly he will be back to work.
The other employee has been suffering from pain in his knees for a while now and has to call in sick more or less on a regular basis. Bending down while strapping and having to run around pallets all day doesn’t really help either. He needs to take it easy for the next week or so, so it doesn’t get worse.
It’s now Friday 6.30 am and you already know that not all pallets will be ready in time for shipping, which means that your customer won’t be able to finish his machines as planned.
HOW WILL YOU BE SPENDING THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS AND THE WEEKEND NOW?
Your goods are ready to be shipped to an important customer who urgently needs them.
All that’s left to do is for Shipping to secure the products on the pallets so that they can be loaded onto the truck.
It’s busy and hectic in Shipping as always and unfortunately the plastic strap gets twisted during the first strapping cycle. During the second one, the seal doesn’t get closed properly.
Both of those happen more or less often when Packaging is not fully automated. Also, there’s not always a 100% dispatch quality inspection or these things are simply being overlooked before the pallets are loaded.
Your products have finally been loaded onto the truck now. However, the load is not properly secured for transport.
The freight carrier is currently also highly busy and the driver is running late for his next stop. A left turn comes up and the plastic strap on your pallet cannot withstand the force. The first strap snaps because it was weakened from the twist. The seal on the second strap now holding the cargo together opens, and your products slip off the pallet and tear through the truck’s tarp. Not only did your cargo take heavy damage, but the opposite lane has to be closed until the cleanup is done.
HOW WILL YOU SPEND THE NEXT FEW HOURS AND THE DAYS AFTER THAT?
SICK DAYS DUE TO BACK PAIN ON THE RISE
A recent study conducted in 2024 by Germany’s largest healthcare provider shows, that SICK DAYS DUE TO BACK PAIN have risen to 2,8 DAYS PER EMPLOYEE PER YEAR. This represents a FURTHER INCREASE BY 7%, as compared to the previous year.
Musculoskeletal disorders including BACK PAIN are thus among the LEADING CAUSES for SICK DAYS, especially in physically demanding jobs.
