Manual handling - Workplace layout
The working conditions can comprise of many things
When considering the layout of the working conditions, employers need to ask a few simple questions.
- Are there any obstructions? If there are, can they be moved? How often is the route where the obstructions are located actually used?
- Are there any temporary obstructions such as the pump truck shown here? Does it absolutely have to be there?
- Can the workplace be reorganised to improve things?
- Is the lighting good enough so that the persons doing the manual handling task can actually see well without having to think about it.
