American Sales a division of Ahold Foods

American Sales has over 600 associates distributing non-perishable grocery products to their chains along the east coast of the United States.  The associates warehouse products from trucks, pull cases of products to a selection area, fill orders for individual stores, stack and ship the order bins to their final destinations.  The work is physical with some seasonal products weighing over 100 lbs. and repetitive in this 24-hour operation.  ErgoWorks performed 4-hours of ergonomic training and individual assessments of each associate in 2005.  The results were significant with incident rates and workers compensation dollars cut in half.  In 2008, American Sales had ErgoWorks perform the individual associate assessments again to re-inforce ergonomic principles.
