Manual material handling (MMH) is a staple in many industries, but its impact on employees and overall operations is often overlooked. This physically demanding task comes with a host of negative consequences.
MMH is a leading cause of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), such as back pain, shoulder injuries, and carpal tunnel syndrome. These injuries not only cause significant pain and discomfort but also lead to lost workdays, increased healthcare costs, and decreased productivity. Beyond physical health, repetitive and strenuous tasks can contribute to job dissatisfaction and lower employee morale.
Beyond the human cost, manual material handling also negatively affects operational efficiency. Time-consuming manual processes slow down production, increase labor costs, and hinder overall output. Additionally, the risk of product damage is higher with manual handling due to potential drops, mishandling, and accidents.
