Heavy products, made and handled with care.
Consumer durables manufacturers assemble, test and ship appliances and electronics, then install and service them in customers' homes. The risks run from the assembly line to the service van.
Safety context in Consumer Durables.
Appliance and electronics plants combine assembly lines, electrical testing, paint and chemical processes and heavy, awkward loads, followed by warehouses, distribution and field installation teams.
Eduforce applies its electrical safety, material handling and forklift, chemical handling, fire safety and working at height disciplines to these operations, alongside lifting equipment inspection and safety audits.
What this industry has to manage.
Electrical testing
Finished products are tested live, close to the people assembling them.
Heavy and awkward loads
Refrigerators, washing machines and air conditioners strain backs and handling equipment.
Installation at height
Service technicians fit outdoor units on walls and rooftops.
Warehouse traffic
Forklifts and stacked stock share space with pickers and loaders.
