For all employers in the food and drink industries to increase awareness that their general handling operations may be hazardous to employees' muscles and joints. Guidance considers that injuries may be both acute, eg backstrain from lifting heavy or awkward loads or chronic such as backache, sore shoulders or elbows, or perhaps numb or tingling wrists and hands caused by repetition.
Accordingly, it offers simple and cost-effective ways of reducing either sudden or prolonged damage. Provides 100 ‘real-life’ cases studies, each with successful solutions, for consideration. Specific subjects under examination include handling of raw materials, packing into containers, stacking or moving containers and offsite delivery.
