Moving Handling Equipment
Manual handling is a major cause of injuries in UK businesses - many workers suffer back problems or other injuries. Where possible you should avoid the need for manual handling i.e. by providing appropriate moving and handling equipment. If manual handling is unavoidable, you should assess and minimise the risks.
To help minimise the risk of Moving & Handling Equipment causing injury you should ensure it is:
- strong, stable and suitable for the job
- positioned to minimise the risk of it or its load falling on anyone
- marked with safety information
- regularly inspected and maintained
Anyone using the Moving and Handling Equipment should be properly trained and any failure of lifting equipment should also be reported.
