What are the responsibilities and job description for the Manual Lathe Operator position at Samuel, Son & Co. 1855?
Operators are utilized throughout our manufacturing process to build product for our customers. Operators normally work independently; however, depending upon the work schedule assignments can often change from general cleaning, painting, sorting parts, etc. Whether working as a team or independently normal daily tasks will require the Operator to lift variable weights, bend, twist, use basic hand tools, push or pull and think safety on every task. Due to the nature of the job, operators continuously shift body weight, hand location, and grip reducing static posture positioning.
Continuously working to improve our safety culture is critical to our business model and continual growth. We routinely review and upgrade our processes to reflect the latest available safety technology, including the use of manually/automatic operated hoists, cranes, carts, forklifts, tables and other devices to reduce the potential for repetitive related injuries. We also instruct our employees to use proper lifting techniques, hand/body positioning, buddy system, and other fundamental safety practices when performing tasks.
