Warning- Pinched Fingers!  
 
One of the biggest hazards on our distribution line is fingers getting pinched between crates as the crates are pushed on our rolling conveyor belt. Please remember: 
-Always watch for crates coming from the opposite direction when pushing  
-If you are at the end of the line and need to push large numbers of crates down, give a shout out and let your fellow volunteers know to stand back 
As well, make sure to keep long hair, jewelry and loose clothing away from the belt

 

Thank you to everyone for your continued efforts to make the Food Bank a safe place to work, volunteer and visit!
