DEFROIDMONT fights job-related discomfort

Thanks to interviews and video recordings, all employees, the director and the management have participated in work meetings to brainstorm and collectively validate the best compromise to respond to the rise in Muscular-Skeletal discomfort of employees.

The latter are now equipped with "standing seats" on the production line to vary posture. A pouring tank has been installed to limit weights that are too heavy to carry.

The employees have the possibility to change posts every hour. They work in less noisy and more luminous environments thanks to the numerous bay windows.

Relaxation areas are important places of conviviality and communication.
To avoid improper movements, the kitchen dishwashers are positioned so that they can be filled standing. A massage chair is also available to employees in the relaxation room.

In realizing that Muscular-Skeletal problems was a major factor, given the seniority of the employees in the company and the artisanal mode of production, Defroidmont decided to invest in industrial manufacturing processes. To this end, the management sought support from the Food Industries Cluster of CARSAT to avoid these Muscular-Skeletal problems.

This collaborative work between the stakeholders led to the validation and enrichment of the new production line.
