How Pacific Southwest Container Leveraged TuMeke to Transform Safety and Ergonomics

Overview


Pacific Southwest Container (PSC), the largest family-owned packaging company west of the Mississippi, has long prioritized the safety and well-being of its employees. With "360° health" as a core value, PSC strives to ensure team members return home in the same condition they arrived. But with sprains and strains topping their injury charts, PSC recognized a pressing need to revamp its ergonomics program. Enter TuMeke, a game-changing AI-powered ergonomic solution.

Challenges Before TuMeke


When Mike Zizzo joined PSC as the Health and Safety Manager, his mission was clear: improve the company’s safety culture and reduce workplace injuries. Nicole Maxwell, the Safety Specialist at PSC, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the company’s commitment to holistic employee health.

Initial injury data revealed an alarming trend of repetitive strain injuries. Traditional ergonomic assessments, involving manual data collection and risk scoring, proved cumbersome and time-consuming. “Without TuMeke, I’d only be a quarter of the way through the evaluations I’ve completed today,” Nicole explained.

How TuMeke Made the Difference


TuMeke provided PSC with an AI-driven solution to tackle ergonomics head-on. The platform’s video analysis technology allowed the safety team to assess body mechanics in real-time. “TuMeke makes it incredibly easy,” Mike shared. “The software generates skeleton models, color-coded risk scores, and highlights critical angles of arms, legs, and other body positions—all in a matter of seconds.”

The user-friendly interface meant that evaluations could be conducted seamlessly on the shop floor using a mobile phone. This simplified process enabled the team to complete over 300 assessments—a feat previously unimaginable with manual methods.

Results That Speak Volumes


Since integrating TuMeke, PSC has seen remarkable improvements:

  • Efficiency Gains: The shift from pen-and-paper to AI-based evaluations saved countless hours.
  • Employee Engagement: Workers embraced the tool, often competing for better ergonomic scores and collaborating on solutions.
  • Safety Milestones: PSC moved from above the industry average for recordable incidents to below it—a testament to their improved safety culture.

Why TuMeke?


For PSC, TuMeke wasn’t just a software—it was a partner in transforming their workplace. The platform’s accessibility ensured anyone, regardless of their EHS expertise, could utilize it. Nicole highlighted its adaptability, saying, “It’s so easy to use; I can take a quick video on my phone, upload it, and instantly receive actionable insights.”

Looking Ahead


As PSC continues to champion safety, TuMeke remains at the heart of their ergonomic program. The platform has not only streamlined assessments but also fostered a culture of accountability and improvement among employees.

A Recommendation for the Industry


For companies looking to simplify their ergonomic programs and achieve tangible safety results, PSC offers a clear endorsement:

“If you’re looking to make improvements, I definitely recommend TuMeke.”
