Ergonomic packaging system expanded

Refills for the space-saving Tork Compact Auto Shift toilet tissue system are now housed in Tork Easy Handling packaging packs.

This means that a complete range of Tork products including Tork hand towels, toilet tissue, interfold napkins and centrefeed industrial rolls now come in the new ergonomic packaging.

Both the Tork Easy Handling Carry Pack and Carry Box have comfortable handles allowing staff to carry two packs at a time, one in each hand. The containers are also easier to open.

'Not only does the packaging help to protect cleaning staff from injuries caused by lifting and carrying heavy boxes, it also offers huge advantages for FM companies,' says SCA product and segment manager Charlotte Branwhite.

'Fewer cleaner injuries means a lower level of absenteeism, and time saved carrying around product boxes and disposing of them means more time to focus on other tasks.' More than 100 cleaners tried and evaluated the packaging during a series of SCA trials. The company says testers concluded that the solutions represented a significant improvement in both ergonomics and efficiency.
