Production worker: the difficulties of a static job

That of thelaborer is an extremely broad category, where the specific type of work changes according to the industry and type of company.

A worker who works in the metal industry, therefore, will have very different tasks from a worker placed in a factory or service sector, such as Logistics & Distribution.

What is certain is that assembly line workers generally spend many hours on their feet and often arrive at the end of the day with a sense of fatigue and heavy legs. How to remedy the problem?

Working on assembly lines in factories often means having to spend many hours standing without being able to sit, in static positions and with postures that, at the end of the day, produce various leg and back aches, not to mention swollen and sore feet.

Wemet Lorenzo, a general laborer on a production range/assortment, and talked with him about this.

Let's see together what kind of solution U-Power offers to this problem.

MEET LORENZO, GENERAL FACTORY WORKER

U-Power:

-"Hello Lorenzo, you are 32 years old and have been working as a production worker for five years , tell us your story."

Lorenzo:

- "Well, my story is not different from many of my peers.
As you said, I've been working for five years as a production worker. I used to work as a warehouse worker but then I changed cities; my girlfriend lived 50 kilometers away from me and it was starting to cause some problems.
We decided to move in together and, of the two of us, I was the one who had the easiest time finding another job, so I threw myself into this new adventure. I was quite lucky and found another solution rather quickly and, five years later, I am really very happy!"

U-Power:

- "A bell story yours, where love is the protagonist! What are the differences between the job you had before and your current job?"

Lorenzo:

- "So ... there are a lot of differences. Before, I used to do a rather dynamic job: loading and unloading of goods and products, stock arrangement, merchandise control ... I moved around a lot, in short, and the work was quite varied.
Now, I do a more staticjob, in which I move around a lot less and work on multiple shifts. So, there are days when I attack in the morning, others when I work at night. However, this allows me to have mornings off, which are always useful, and although I struggled at first, it doesn't bother me anymore now. Then, my girlfriend is a nurse, so we are used to the shifts..."

WORKING ON AN ASSEMBLY LINE: WHAT ARE THE DIFFICULTIES?

U-Power:

- "What exactly does your job consist of?"

Lorenzo:

-"I work on an assembly line and, mainly, I check that everything is proceeding as it should. Mine is mainly a monitoring job, not only of the product but also related to the production tools. When something is not proceeding as it should, the next stage of the chain comes to a halt, so, it is very important that I am able to detect any anomalies promptly."

U-Power:

- "So, Lorenzo, if I understand you correctly, in your work you don't move around much, you are fixed in one location..."

Lorenzo:

-"Eh yes, I hardly move at all, I'm always standing and doing the same things and the same movements. This, unfortunately, is felt on my feet and legs and after a while, when you get to the evening you notice it...heavy legs, swollen feet...things like that, in short.

U-Power:

- "How do you solve this problem?"

Lorenzo:

- "At first I was really struggling.My girlfriend, who is a nurse, recommended massages, foot baths, etc. Then, one day, I talked about it with my father-in-law who referred me to a friend of his who has a safety store.
In all sincerity, I always thought that work shoes were all the same. That is, taking away the safety rating, which varies, I always chose my safety shoes based on aesthetics and never stopped to study their features.
Instead, my father-in-law's friend opened up a world to me and I discovered that depending on the work you do, there are shoes that are more or less suitable to prevent or solve specific problems arising from your job."

U-Power:

- "For example?"

Lorenzo:

-"Well, for example, I discovered that some safety shoes have an insert that allows you to recover energy while you work, others have technologies thatallow you to reduce shock, others increase stability. In short, no two are alike: a world has really opened up for me!"

SHOES FOR WORKING ON YOUR FEET: DENVER, THE U-POWER SOLUTION!

U-Power:

- "And in your case, what shoes did they recommend?"

Lorenzo:

-"I was recommended the U-Power shoes from the Red Industry range , which, as the name of the range says, are specifically for those who, like me, work in an industry and, in particular, as a worker on an assembly line."

U-Power:

-"Can you explain what are the advantages of Red Industry?"

Lorenzo:

-"So, Ottavio-my father-in-law's friend-explained to me that these shoes have an innovative insole with a special technology. I can't really explain but, believe it or not, it works!"

U-Power:

- "That's right, the Red Industry shoes come with the revolutionary WOW2footbed: an arch-structured footbed made of BASF's soft Dynamic compound with extraordinary self-molding properties accompanied by an anti-fatigue insert that can relieve body stress. The result is a feeling of greater comfort, more balance and shock distribution from the very first time you wear them, and they immediately help you reduce fatigue.
Which style did you choose from the wide range of proposals?"

Lorenzo:

- "Well, I chose the Denvers because green is my favorite color. But also because of the perforated suede upper that helps the foot breathe. That is, it's leather - so perfect for this period - but at the same time, cool and breathable.
I would recommend them!"

U-Power:

- "Thank you Lorenzo, for telling us your story and for all the valuable information you shared with us."
