Barrel Turntable

工人们知道工作中什么时候有安全问题;没有人比在那里工作的人更了解工作场所。阿尔伯塔酿酒有限公司雇用的工人必须堆放沉重的桶，往往充满了烈酒。阿尔伯塔酿酒厂（ADL）的健康、安全和环境负责人和工人们一致认为，目前堆放桶的过程是“足够的”，但ADL希望为员工提供一个更安全的工作空间。当前工艺存在人体工程学问题，并可能造成伤害。雇主有责任防止工作场所的事故和伤害，并促进安全和健康的工作场所。阿尔伯塔酿酒厂正在努力建立一种新的设备，以减少工人的风险。桶转盘是一种设备，做的工作，没有考虑工人的身体。阿尔伯塔酿酒厂已经设想了一个解决方案，并正在寻求有这个想法的设计和制造。新设备将通过减少工人接触不符合人体工程学的工作来提高仓库的安全性。SAIT Design Fabrication Technology是将这一想法转化为具体解决方案的团队，该解决方案可以快速实施到卡尔加里的仓库中。一个好的工具将很快传播到使用和堆叠桶的各种行业：储存水和油，发酵葡萄酒或清酒，以及成熟的饮料，如白兰地，啤酒，雪利酒和波特酒。

Workers know when there are safety issues at work; no one knows a workplace better than the individuals working there. Alberta Distilleries Ltd. employs workers must stack heavy barrels often full of spirits. The head of Health, Safety and Environment for Alberta Distilleries (ADL) and the workers agree the current process to stack barrels is 'adequate' but ADL wants a safer work space for their employees. There are ergonomic issues with the current process and potential for injury. It is the employers' responsibilities to prevent workplace accidents and injuries and promote safe and healthy work places. Alberta Distilleries is working to establish a novel device to reduce worker risk. The Barrel Turntable is a device that does the job, without consideration of the worker's body. Alberta Distilleries has envisioned a solution and is seeking to have this idea designed and fabricated. The new device will increase the safety in the warehouse by reducing worker exposure to work that is not ergonomic. SAIT Design Fabrication Technology is the team to bring this idea to a concrete solution that can quickly be implemented into the warehouse here in Calgary. A good tool will quickly be disseminated to the variety of industries that use and stack barrels: storage for water and oil, fermenting wine or sake and maturing beverages such as cognac, beer, sherry and port.
