Human Resources / ergonomics
French term or phrase: fonds du roll
It appears in a piece on an ergonomics study for a company. Here is the context:
"Maintenant, on sait exactement ce qu’il se passe lorsqu’une personne a par exemple fait un geste de torsion et cela nous a permis de trouver des idées très simples à mettre en place pour améliorer les conditions de travail des opératrices. Avant on était obligé d’aller complètement dans le fond du roll."

All ideas welcome!

Reference information:
I know this is already closed but it seems to me that the text is referring to employees working on a production line - their movements have been studied and their seating arrangements possibly, or production line equipment, have been altered ergonomically to ease these movements. I have a feeling that here the fond du roll is something more technical.
