Employers have the primary
responsibility for protecting the safety and health of their
workers. Employees are responsible for following the safe work
practices of their employers. |
- Avoid twisting while lifting.
- Avoid overreaching. Walk food out to customers if they are
parked too far away for you to safely reach from the drive-thru
window.
- Stay fit to help avoid injuries.

- Rearrange workstations to provide for easy access to items used
most frequently and to enable employees to keep their elbows
close to the body.
|
|
- Redesign drive-thru windows to alleviate employee reaching. Rather than having employee reach across a
window to deliver food, install a drop box to put orders into to deliver orders to customers. Customers then reach into the drop box to get their order.
- Rotate workers through the drive-thru area to limit their
exposure to excessive reaching and lifting and the development
of musculoskeletal disorders.
