About this session
Cycle Count Miles & Reach is a 60-minute to three-hour ergonomics session for inventory and cycle-count teams who cover long walking routes and awkward high and low counts. It runs live online or in person.
Teams map how walking, reaching and handheld devices load the body across a count, then practice positions that reduce strain at the top and bottom of racking.
It supports, and doesn't replace, your site's safe-working procedures and equipment rules. Ongoing pain is worth discussing with occupational health or a doctor.
Participants leave with practical counting habits and clear rules for when to use equipment or ask a second person.
