The Risks?

“Each year incidents in Australian workplaces result in:

  • A total of 133,188 employment injuries were reported in 2008/09  
  • 49% of all injuries in the Nursery & Garden Industry are caused by manual handling tasks.
  • Enormous pain and suffering for employees and their families. Therefore, these figures alone demand better workplace safety”

-- by Ron Widman, the WHS Co-ordinator of NGINA.

Why use nursery plant benches to grow & display your plants? (The solution)

Spring_Benching_-_10  Spring_Benching_-_11 Shade-house-with-shelve

Using a proper nursery plant benching system to grow and display plants provides a series of benefits:

Reduces Injuries

  • Ergonomic working height to minimise the risk of getting injuries through reducing the amount of sustained bending and reaching when accessing plants on the ground.
  • Minimises exertion when working in extreme temperatures in a hot house.

Greenhouse-BenchIncrease work efficiency

  • Job rotation can be used to reduce repetitive tasks amongst a number of workers
  • Better air circulation makes plants grow faster (at higher propagation rates).
  • Plants don’t grow into gravel and look better.
