To prevent operator strain injuries, Schoeller Arca Systems offers interlocking plastics floor slats provide a safe, non-slip, stable surface, which is cushioned and comfortable to walk, work or stand on The slats, said Schoeller, allow operators to work longer and reduce the likelihood of them suffering musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) - strain injuries

Schoeller Arca Systems told manufacturingtalk.com that MSDs affect one million people in the UK each year.

They are often severe or long-term and can have devastating health implications.

Associated costs, including lost productivity, lawsuits, rehabilitation and training replacement staff, are high.

Business Sector Manager at Schoeller Arca Systems, Russell Smith, informed: "Back and leg musculoskeletal disorders, caused by prolonged standing or repetitive movement, are problematic in many industries and can cost companies thousands of pounds each year.

Schoeller Arca Systems' floor slats help prevent injuries like these, making for safer, more comfortable working environments".

Schoeller Arca Systems' floor slats are made of 100% recyclable plastics and resist moisture, oils and most acids and chemicals.

The slats allow goods to be stored on the ground by raising them above the floor surface, keeping them clean, safe and dry.

In addition, they protect employees against slips and falls by lifting foot traffic above wet, slippery surfaces.

Users can combine and interlock the various straights and corner sections to cover an entire floor, or make 'islands' where employees face prolonged periods of standing or repetitive movement.

Ramps provide easy access for dollies, trolleys and other handling equipment.

Smith added: "Schoeller Arca Systems' floor slats are a simple, cost effective means of keeping employees safe and comfortable.

They reduce the risk of MSDs and other work-related accidents.

Floor slats can be quickly and easily assembled, with minimal disruption to work areas.".
