How to Reduce Risk of Manual Handling Injuries in the Workplace
Manual handling refers to activities in which people lift, lower, push, pull, hold or restrain an item. Since manual handling injuries are natural in many material handling and warehouse equipment industries, it is important to have strategies in place to preserve the security of your workplace and your employees. When manual handling is inadequately carried out, injuries such as strains, sprains, slips, falls, cuts and various others can occur, endangering your employees. Luckily at Equip2Go, we have a wide selection of products that can help enhance your safety when performing manual handling tasks.
