You may already know that workers in the waste management sector have significantly higher incidents of accidents and injuries than people working in other fields. People working for your company may be exposed to many of the same risks associated with waste management, even though it’s not their primary responsibility.
In fact, manually moving heavy dumpsters full of trash is a time-consuming process that takes your employees away from other duties. Do your part to keep them safe and working efficiently by providing them with the best tool for the job.
How injuries often occur
Trash dumpsters are designed to hold large amounts of practically any type of material that gets thrown in. To hold up to the demands, dumpsters are heavy and bulky, and when filled with trash, a dumpster can weigh up to 2,500 pounds. Yet many companies still have their employees manually moving dumpsters across wet floors, through narrow areas, on loading ramps, across uneven pavement, and in all types of weather.
WasteCaddy Dumpster Mover
A motorized dumpster mover is like adding another employee to help your team members move heavy loads but at a fraction of the costs of hiring someone new. In addition to preventing workers comp claims due to back injuries, falls, and muscle strains, you can reduce the likelihood of property damage. If your employees must manually move a dumpster across busy parking lots, there’s always the possibility the dumpster could get away from them and strike a person or vehicle.
