CLEVELAND — Brass Knuckle®, a manufacturer of high-quality, cost-effective safety solutions, has launched a line of ergonomically designed occupational body protection products under their SmartShell™ brand. The new offerings include three different styles of kneepads and an adjustable back support. Aggressive growth of the line is planned throughout 2017.
Ergonomics — the science of fitting a job to a person — can have a dramatic positive effect on worker productivity. Employees whose jobs include heavy lifting, pushing or pulling, repetitive motion, bending, stooping, or holding awkward body positions are at risk for musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), a class of occupational injuries that, according to OSHA, are among the most frequently reported causes of lost or restricted work time. Ergonomically designed products can help lessen muscle fatigue, increase productivity, and reduce the number and severity of work-related MSDs. The increased comfort helps boost worker compliance.
