Since 1959, SAPELEM has been designing ergonomic manipulators to provide operators with effortless handling, drastically reducing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), alleviating work-related strain, and increasing productivity.

In France, 90% of recognized occupational diseases are musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). They account for 22 million days of sick leave, representing 30% of all work stoppages and costing companies 2 billion euros annually.

The symptoms are varied, and the risk factors are multiple, mainly related to work organization: excessive effort, uncomfortable postures, repetitive movements, prolonged static work, and stress.

Working conditions are the leading cause of MSDs! The consequences are immediate: direct and indirect costs for companies and civil and criminal risks for their managers.
