FREE load handling advice booklet
May 18th 2006 A new booklet published by Penny Hydraulics offers free guidance on current manual handling regulations with practical advice on how to reduce the need to handle loads by hand. Separate sections highlight the principal regulations and industry codes of practice covering manual handling and the use of lorry loaders, platforms lifts and workshop and stores lifts. The booklet includes numerous case studies explaining how Penny Hydraulics has helped customers to reduce manual handling and implement best practice through its comprehensive design, manufacturing, installation and training service.
"Safe manual handling isn't just good ethics, it's good business but it's surprising how many people are unaware of the full implications of the regulations," says John Penny, Managing Director of Penny Hydraulics. "This booklet is designed for anyone with a duty of care to employees and contains examples of how companies can turn real-life manual handling problems into success stories."
The new booklet covers current Manual Handling and Health and Safety regulations and the "Duty of Care" obligations that employers must fulfil. It includes information about the key manual handling requirements contained within The Health & Safety At Work Act, PUWER (Provision & Use of Work Equipment Regulations), LOLER (Lifting Operation & Lifting Equipment Regulations) and the ALLMI (Association of Lorry Loader Manufacturers and Importers) code of practice.
"Everything we do is aimed at making it safer and easier to handle loads on commercial vehicles and in the workplace," says Richard Short, Sales Director at Penny Hydraulics. "This booklet is designed to provide practical advice which will help everyone involved with load handling to make informed decisions when specifying equipment."
