Reducing factory clinic visits for heat stress and ergonomic strain by 64.3% over 10 months without sacrificing line productivity.
01
The problem
High summer temperatures and standing stitching lines led to 18.2 clinic visits per 1,000 workers monthly.
02
What they did
Evaporative cooling ducts, sit-stand ergonomic stations, anti-fatigue mats, and 90-minute hydration bells.
How to replicate it
- 01
Track ambient wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) alongside medical room visits by line.
- 02
Co-design sit-stand workstation heights with elected worker safety representatives.
- 03
Institutionalise scheduled 5-minute hydration micro-breaks during peak summer shifts.
