Roll Cage Safety [Infographic]

Roll cages are staples in sectors such as Retail, Logistics, Food and Beverage and many more. Typically, they are a cage mounted on four castor wheels and are operated by single pedestrians with their hands.

Not only is this bad for your posture (which can cause long term Musculoskeletal Disorders), they are often heavy and moved on slopes. The combination of factors can result in a range of injuries.
