As beer wholesalers continue to take on more SKU’s and adopt alternative storage media for their keg management, it is important to consider OSHA and NIOSH guidelines. Unfortunately, one such trend is to store sixth barrel kegs (58 lbs.) 55” above floor level for manual picking. According to The Handbook of Ergonomic Design Guidelines – Version 2.0; Ann Arbor, MI: Humantech, Inc., the practice of picking 58 lbs. above shoulder height presents high risk of injury for the employee. Additionally, picking 58 lbs. kegs below 20” from ground level poses serious risks to the worker.
