Barrel Turntable

工人们知道工作中的安全问题；没有人比在那里工作的人更了解一个工作场所。阿尔伯塔蒸馏厂（Alberta distileries Ltd.）雇佣的工人必须将通常装满烈酒的重桶堆放起来。艾伯塔省酿酒厂（ADL）的健康、安全和环境主管和工人们都认为，目前堆放酒桶的过程“足够”，但ADL希望为员工提供一个更安全的工作空间。目前的过程存在人体工程学问题和潜在的伤害。雇主有责任防止工作场所事故和伤害，促进工作场所的安全和健康。阿尔伯塔酿酒厂正在努力建立一种新的设备来降低工人的风险。桶式转盘是一种不用考虑工人身体就能完成工作的设备。阿尔伯塔酿酒厂设想了一个解决方案，并正在寻求设计和制造这个想法。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设计制造技术团队将这一想法转化为具体的解决方案，可以快速实施到卡尔加里的仓库中。一个好的工具将很快被推广到各种使用和堆放木桶的行业：储存水和油，发酵葡萄酒或清酒，以及干邑、啤酒、雪利酒和波特酒等成熟饮料。

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.
