Workplace Safety Article

Stole this link from ontherail.com. It's an OSHA article about workplace safety and ergonomics in the foodservice industry. www.osha-slc.gov/SLTC/ergonomics/ergonomicreports_pub/un990618/un990618.html

Thanks Greg.

Sound advice Greg..I changed to a japanese cleaver about 4 years ago due to pain in my shoulder...it has gone now...I think height comes into it too..most kitchens are made for men..the benches combined with a chefs knife bring that whole shoulder thing into play...I am quite short [my sous is shorter] I cannot reach plates,chop properly on certain benches..believe me they are not all standard!!but I recommend the japanese or half cleaver to everyone...
