How much can you do to ensure

the safety of your employees?

Implement a more hygienic waste disposal regime
Thorough procedures are necessary to make sure waste is correctly disposed of. It is not just a case of keeping waste out of contact with clean surfaces – the airborne dispersion
of bacteria and spores means that waste materials must be well-contained at all times.

Rubbermaid’s Step-On range of easy-to-clean hands-free bins help you dispose of waste safely and hygienically:
■ ■ Hands-free disposal: heavy-duty pedal for hygienic, hands-free use to significantly reduce cross-contamination through hand contact
■ ■ Each bin is equipped with a lid: essential for containing airborne pathogens and odours
■ ■ Soft-closing lid damper system: prevents the violent rush of air associated with a poorly designed bin that can disperse airborne contaminates into the surrounding
environment
■ ■ Rounded corners and smooth contours for easy cleaning
■ ■ Hygienic non-porous resin and stainless steel construction for many years of reliable service

Improper disposal of waste can lead to food poisoning in food preparation areas.

Reduce physical stress and cut lost working hours
Repetitive or strenuous physical labour can result in musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).

Primarily, MSDs can cause severe discomfort for staff, but there are also major
costs to consider for employers:
■ ■ Medical, rehabilitative and administrative costs
■ ■ Loss of productivity
■ ■ Absenteeism

It is the employer’s responsibility to provide their staff with the appropriate
ergonomic equipment to help prevent the occurrence of MSDs. All Rubbermaid
products are ergonomically-designed to help reduce physical fatigue and strain.

Rubbermaid’s Step-On Best is the ideal solution and provides
a number of ways to avoid MSDs:
■ ■ Easy emptying
■ ■ Front-opening to avoid lifting of potentially heavy waste bags
■ ■ Easy-grips for improved control and transport

Did you know ?
90% of the working population is affected by
musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) at some point
in their working lives. EU directives 90/269/
EEC, 89/391/EEC and 89/654/EEC legally oblige
the employer to provide staff with safe working
environments and appropriate ergonomic
equipment.
