Regulations
The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 establish a clear hierarchy of measures that all employers must comply with the following:
(a) Avoid hazardous manual handling operations so far as is reasonably practicable;
(b) Assess any hazardous manual handling operations that cannot be avoided; and
(c) Reduce the risk of injury so far as is reasonably practicable.
Self-employed
Section 2 states that:
"Any duty imposed by these regulations on an employer in respect of his employees shall also be imposed on a self-employed person in respect of himself."
If you look into cases where the HSE have taken action against organisations / employers, whether it is an improvement notice or a prosecution, the lack of manual handling risk assessments, staff training and the lack of provision of equipment to avoid or reduce manual handling will be the reasons behind the HSE action.
With the high level of handling injuries in the UK, without action from employers to comply with regulations, the high cost associated with employee’s injuries and the HSE action are just around the corner.
B.J.R. Training can provide a cost effective Manual Handling of Loads course specifically for your staff.
Your course will be written to your requirements, policies, procedures, safe working practices, management systems and equipment.
