Incorrect manual handling is one of the most common causes of injury at work. It causes work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) which account for over a third of all workplace injuries.
As part of managing the health and safety of your business, you must control the risks in your workplace. To do this you need to think about what might cause harm to people and decide whether you are doing enough to prevent harm.
Our experienced health and safety consultants will help to identify high-risk manual handling activities within the workplace. The manual handling risk assessment will take account of additional information such as individual capabilities and will conform to the requirements in the Manual Handling Operations Regulations. We can also facilitate the consultation and involve employees and safety representatives.
Our health and safety consultants have both consultancy and industry experience so can offer sound advice and practical solutions. Our reports are detailed, thorough and most of all reflect your activities.
If you need a manual handling risk assessment contact us to discuss in more detail – we also offer manual handling training at our training facility or at your business premises.
