About Handling & Lifting

Legislation

More than a third of all injuries reported each year to HSE and local authorities are caused by manual handling - the transporting or supporting of loads by hand or by bodily force.

Most of these injuries are musculoskeletal disorders to backs, although strains to all other parts of the body are also reported each year. In most instances heavy lifting can be avoided in the workplace by undertaking a variety of safety precautions.

The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992, (amended) apply to a wide range of manual handling activities, including lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling or carrying.

The Regulations require employers to:

Avoid the need for hazardous manual handling, so far as is reasonably practicable;
Assess the risk of injury from any hazardous manual handling that can't be avoided;
Reduce the risk of injury from hazardous manual handling, so far as is reasonably practicable.

Slingsby supply many products to reduce the need for lifting and pulling heavy objects including lift tables, powered pallet trucks and powered stair climbers.
