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.

工人知道工作中何时出现安全问题；没有人比在那里工作的个人更了解工作场所。艾伯塔酿酒厂有限公司雇用的工人必须堆放通常装满烈酒的沉重木桶。艾伯塔省酿酒厂 (ADL) 健康、安全和环境负责人以及工人们一致认为，目前的酒桶堆放流程“足够”，但 ADL 希望为员工提供更安全的工作空间。目前的流程存在人体工程学问题，并且存在潜在的受伤风险。雇主有责任预防工作场所事故和伤害并促进安全和健康的工作场所。艾伯塔酿酒厂正在努力建立一种新型设备来降低工人的风险。桶式转盘是一种完成这项工作的设备，无需考虑工人的身体。艾伯塔酿酒厂设想了一种解决方案，并正在寻求设计和制造这一想法。新设备将减少工人从事不符合人体工程学的工作，从而提高仓库的安全性。 SAIT Design Fabrication Technology 团队将这一想法转化为具体的解决方案，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：水和油的储存、葡萄酒或清酒的发酵以及白兰地、啤酒、雪利酒和波特酒等饮料的熟化。
