EASE Council panel to discuss ergonomic manufacturing solutions at MODEX 2024
Annually, U.S. manufacturers lose nearly $8.32 billion due to serious, non-fatal workplace injuries. According to the 2023 Liberty Mutual Workplace Safety Index’s Manufacturing report, the top cause is overexertion when handling objects. Fortunately, there’s a solution: ergonomic assist systems. Yet many companies don’t know about the broad range of options or how to choose among them. That’s why MHI's Ergonomic Assist Systems & Equipment (EASE) Council will host a panel to discuss ergonomic manufacturing solutions at MODEX 2024.
