Heavy Lifting can be very hazardous to your workforce if done incorrectly. If you lift a heavy object carelessly you could end up pulling muscles or you could even suffer long-term damage to your back or upper limbs. 75% of injuries caused by manual lifting can be avoided if workers have been trained and shown how to lift safely. Here at Label Source we have a range of Manual Lifting Safety Signs that help to educate workers and minimise the risk of accidents and injuries in the workplace.
All of our lifting safety signs will help your workers comply with the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992, which refer to the lifting, lowering, carrying, pushing, pulling, or supporting of heavy loads. Our range of manual lifting signs reminds employees to follow correct procedures when they're lifting heavy loads. Some of these procedures are correct lifting, seeking assistance where appropriate and following correct lifting guidelines. Failing these regulations could result in severe injuries, as well as damaged goods if these loads are dropped.
Here are a few examples of the Manual Lifting Safety Signs we supply here at Label Source:
