Aims to reduce handling risks
March 1st 2011 Offering both employers and
employees guidance on
the safest ways to lift,
stack and move items in
the workplace, Toyota
Material Handling UK
has published the latest
edition of its guide to
safe manual handling.
The latest report from
the HSE has found that
there were 46,000+
incidents in the UK where manual
handling caused an injury that led to
a worker being absent for three days
or more. The Toyota Manual
Handling Guide gives simple rules to
remember when handling loads,
recommended lifting weight
guidelines and advice on
material handling
equipment that could
help reduce the risk to
employees. Toyota
believes the guide will
help employers to ensure
they are meeting their
legal obligations to
protect their workforce
from injury. More articles from Toyota Material Handling (UK) Ltd: |
