Manual handling assessments
The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992
The Manual handling Operations Regulations 1992 contain the main legal requirements relating to manual handling. Manual handling includes lifting, putting down, pushing, pulling, carrying or moving by hand or bodily force.
The regulations require employers, so far as is reasonably practicable, to avoid the need for employees to undertake manual handling operations which involve the risk of injury.
If manual handling can not be avoided, a risk assessment should be carried out and steps taken to reduce any risk from manual handling injuries to the lowest level reasonably practicable.
How can we help?
We will use the latest manual handling assessment charts (MAC), a new tool design to assess the most common risk factors in lifting and lowering, carrying and team handling operations. The MAC tool will enable us to identify high risk manual handling operations and complete the risk assessment.
We will recommend from the findings of our risk assessment possible ergonomic changes and possible lifting aid solutions to reduce the risk of injury to the lowest level reasonably practicable.
Provide accredited manual handling training.
All work is guaranteed and conducted by qualified officers with extensive health and safety enforcement experience from previous law enforcement backgrounds. So you can rest assured we know what we are looking for.
Contact us today and don’t be worried about ‘how much will this cost’?
If you are a small business with relatively few hazards the assessment need not be too complex and the price will reflect this.
We pride ourselves on fairness and quality and we, like you, are fed up with our ‘rip off’ society culture.
