The idea of using the loader to lift and move wrappers over the top of a log load, or “drape” them, is not new. Shoulder injury from repetitive wrapper throwing is the most-common chronic work injury for log truck drivers. These claim costs can reach $200,000 each.
AOL’s Safety team is looking for good systems for draping wrappers. Please contact your Safety Consultant if you have good system to share and see links below for more information.
