Ergonomics at work is considered a preventive method, since the improvement and prevention of musculoskeletal pain is directly related to both eco-postural health and the type of work done.

What do we understand by ergonomics?

According to the international association of Ergonomics, it is defined as, “a set of scientific knowledge applied to adapt work, systems, products and environments to the capabilities, physical and mental limitations of the person”.

How can the type of work we develop affect our health?

The health of the workers is directly related to the working conditions, in this way we can notice that, based on the type of work that is developed, the conditions or even the injuries will be different, this is why we will have to change one kind of habits or another to prevent them.

In recent years, much progress has been made in occupational health and ergonomics, but we still have a long way to go. We need a deeper awareness, both on the part of the companies, to prevent the sick leaves caused, and on the part of the worker to have a better quality of life during and after work.

What injuries can arise from a lack of ergonomics in the workplace?

Between 60% and 90% of the world’s population will suffer from back pain in the future because of their position at work according to the European Agency for Safety and Health.

In addition, there are other frequent ailments that are directly or indirectly related to poor posture at work, such as contractures or spinal deviations, as well as stress, and so on… all of these ailments can be avoided, many of them with a correct posture at work, and right work habits.

Tips to avoid injuries at work

Many of the tips that we can recommend are directly linked to the type of work you develop, so choose the recommendations based on your work and you can prevent certain injuries:

• A work table adjusted in height and depth: it is very important to work at the ideal height for the position of both the head and the arms, this adaptation must be organized effectively and comfortably, as well as try to change position from time to time for a good blood flow.
• Change position from time to time: being in the same position for a long time can cause musculoskeletal disorders, it is advisable to relax the lower back once in a while for people who work standing up.
• Dress comfortably at work: a loose clothing that does not squeeze too much is essential to avoid possible injuries, as well as wearing comfortable shoes, avoid rheumatic injuries as a result of excessive strain.
• Rest at night: Although it may often seem complicated, a good night rest is necessary to be able to avoid injuries and to reinforce the immune system. With a good rest you will be less prone to get sick.
• Lift weight in the right way and with moderation: Whenever possible, it is advisable to transport weight with a straight back and flexing your knees when lifting it from the ground.

Good ergonomics is good for you and for your company.

Investing in ergonomics is investing in your health, so learning to take care of yourself also means acquiring a good posture in your workplace. The company avoids plenty of sick leaves and you improve your health in a very important part that affects your muscles.

With a good postural health, we all win.

Having great professionals is essential for our company to work, and in Blumaq we are lucky to be surrounded by highly qualified personnel who have the same objective, to give an optimal service, and the same passion, their work. And in Blumaq we are united by our passion for a well-done job, by the optimal service to our customers and by offering in every part all the quality that we are able to produce.

In Blumaq we know that our commitment to talent and innovation positions us at the forefront of our industry, this is our way to seek excellence in the manufacturing of our spare parts and in the service we offer to all our customers. We know that teamwork is fundamental to make the Blumaq family gear work perfectly.

A good team: our values

If we think of successful work teams, most of us will think in a sports team (specially football), and that is one of the best and clearest examples of how, if a team is well trained, if it has the key pieces you need and everyone knows perfectly what you have to do and what your role is, everything will work great and success will come.

The values that make up a good team are fundamental. The effort, excellence, honesty and humility guide every one of our colleagues in the continuous search for a well-done job, because, in Blumaq, quality always comes from inside.

Therefore, these are the 10 values that can build a good work team:

1. Individual responsibility: Everyone must know and perform at the highest level, their own and individual responsibility. Teamwork starts with oneself and you have to be very responsible for knowing which are tasks of each member and in performing them competently.
2. Responsibility with the team: Because in a group, each member must have a very high level of responsibility and commitment to the team. Without this commitment, nothing will work properly, each member will work their own way without thinking about the whole.
3. Honesty: To work as a team, it is essential to be honest in order to communicate when you do not know how to do something, when work is not in time, when there is too much work and help is needed.
4. Integrity: It is one of the main values that should be present in our daily lives and, therefore, in our professional lives, especially if we work as a team, since we live together with other people who also strive to achieve their objectives. Within integrity, many other important values come into play, values such as firmness in actions, humility, discipline (basic for teamwork), emotional control, respect and even, among other characteristics, punctuality (something that may seem banal but, when working with other people, you have to know how to be punctual in order to show respect to other members and their time).

5. Self-control: Without self-control, no relationship in which tension arises will work, because work involves stress, disagreements, different points of view, and it is necessary to have self-control to know how to manage certain situations from the calm and handle them to get a positive agreement.
6. Communication ability: As we said in the previous point, if you do not know how to maintain a good and healthy (above all healthy) communication with others, how are we going to be able to work as a team? It is really impossible. We have to be able to talk with the other members of the group, and communicate in correct, constructive and respectful terms.
7. Trust: We must trust, but not only ourselves, we must also trust others. If you do not trust the members of the team and do not believe that they will fulfill their tasks, that they will do it correctly or with all their interest, it is impossible for the relationship to work (neither the team relationship nor any other).
8. Proactivity: You must want, you must give ideas, you must contribute with everything you can and help the team. To have a passive attitude in which others come to tell you what to do, will harm everyone. So, charge your batteries on and bring out the best of yourself.
9. Organization: Without order, chaos will take control of everything and everyone, and will plunge us into the greatest of failures. You must be organized, you must know how to set the timings and the tasks that each one has to perform.
10. Motivation: And of course, in addition to proactivity, you have to be eager to do things well, but also to do them motivated and excited. Because we spend more than half of our lives working, and doing it with a positive attitude is the best we can do.

Our conclusion is that teamwork is a great value for the organization and also for team members. Doing it in a good way will help us make it a success. In Blumaq we believe that these values are essential to keep on growing and learning every day.

At Blumaq we are committed to the environment and, among our quality processes, we implement measures to improve it.

Quality and environment

At Blumaq we are aware of the high environmental impact that heavy machinery exerts all over the planet.

We believe this commitment the company acquires with the environment does not have to go against an agile production combined with a high quality product.

For this purpose, Blumaq implements in the quality processes to which all the parts are submitted, the maximum guarantees to ensure they are environmentally friendly.

Good service and environmental awareness

We know the service is one of the main factors by which our customers choose Blumaq as their reliable company.

However, this good service must go hand in hand with minimum guarantees of sustainability; we believe that construction and sustainability can go together towards a more committed future.

Blumaq, an organization committed to the environment

Our experience in the sector not only positions us as the best company which offers original and alternative spare parts for the main brands in the market, but also makes us a reliable reference able to offer a fast and quality service at the best price.

We are committed to the quality you are looking for.

Quality is customer satisfaction

Quality has many meanings and nuances depending on the perspective from which it is analyzed.

For example, from the perspective of value, quality means offering added value; for a production employee, quality means compliance against specifications; and for a customer, quality is simply the tool to evaluate a product as equal, better or worse than others.

Blumaq is convinced that product quality is the main driver to achieve customer satisfaction and, therefore, the only way to sustain a continuous business growth. As a result, it is committed to a large investment in the technical area that leads to what we know today as Blumaq Technical Center.

Blumaq Technical center, our quality control center

Blumaq Technical Center (BTC) is a solid organization composed of an expert team of research, design and development engineers (specialized in the different systems of the machine), a global quality management team, spare parts quality control engineers (inspection) and supplier quality engineers working in the field around the world.

The BTC also has new and independent facilities from the central offices in Spain, facilities devoted exclusively to the technical development of Blumaq, providing the engineering team with the perfect working environment to develop their daily activities, thanks to the metrology laboratory ( equipped with the latest technologies such as 3D laser measurement), the parts analysis area, the test benches, the workshop area and even a photo studio.

Why are we so concerned with the quality in Blumaq?

As seen from any angle, Blumaq has established a new technical standard in the spare parts industry, developing a state-of-the-art technical center that operates as an OEM in terms of quality assurance standards. Its zero-defects strategy is articulated in 3 main principles;

Research, Design and Development:

• Definition, inspection and control of each critical specification for 100% of the parts designed and developed by Blumaq.
• Validation and inspection of prototypes and 1st production batches as an essential part of the development process of new Blumaq parts.
•  Around 1000 new parts developed annually.

Product inspection:

• Daily check of 100% of the material received through the Blumaq quality inspection algorithm that identifies and selects the product that needs inspection.
• The product selected for inspection flows automatically to the BTC for validation, immediately after receipt.
• Only approved material is unblocked in stock minimizing the risks of failure for customers.

Supplier quality management:

• Deployment in the field of a worldwide network of supplier quality assurance (SQA) engineers working permanently in America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. This allows Blumaq to audit and control every detail in direct contact with manufacturers.
• BQ3 quality plan; quarterly reviews of quality performance at 3 levels (part level, product family level and supplier level) to ensure that any problem is identified and corrected immediately.

Quality comes from inside

In addition to all the above, in the rare case of a customer problem, Blumaq takes pride in having the best after-sales support system on the international scene. Any possible problem, regardless of its location in the world, is automatically transferred to Blumaq Technical Center engineers through the quality system designed by Blumaq to provide a fast and accurate solution to its customers. This after-sales customer service, specially designed for customer satisfaction, only confirms Blumaq as the world’s leading company in terms of quality within the spare parts sector.

Its high technical capabilities and strong commitment to customer satisfaction make Blumaq stand out from its competitors.

After all, quality comes from inside.
