Seafood Plant Laborer

** The move crawfish function refers to the manual transfer of crawfish between workstations within the facility as the product moves through the receiving, washing, grading/sorting, weighing, icing, and storage phases of processing. The worker manually lifts and carries mesh sacks, plastic baskets, and totes of crawfish by hand from one station to the next. Movement between stations is accomplished on foot, either by carrying the product directly or by stacking sacks/totes onto a hand truck or pushcart and manually pushing it across the plant floor. The function of loading and unloading trucks refers to the manual receipt of incoming raw crawfish/seafood deliveries and the manual loading of finished, packaged product onto outbound trucks. When unloading, the worker manually removes sacks, baskets, totes, and boxes from the delivery vehicle by hand and transfers them to the receiving or wash area, either by carrying them directly or by hand truck/cart. When loading, the worker manually stacks packaged sacks, boxes, and palletized product onto the truck bed by hand. All lifting, carrying, stacking, and securing is performed manually; the worker does not operate forklifts or any powered material-handling equipment. Tools, equipment, and materials used: two-wheel hand trucks (dollies), four-wheel manual push/platform carts, manual (non-powered, hand-pumped) pallet jacks, pallets, plastic scoops and shovels, mesh sacks, plastic baskets/totes/bins, boxes, and waterproof gloves.
