Exercise

Reducing Accidents • Improve stability by placing heavy items • All cages are labelled with what they should at the bottom of the cage contain – check and change if necessary • Reduce chances of articles falling by • Make sure trolleys are stacked correctly and having no loose items on top components are strapped in prior to moving • Eliminate tilting and tipping the cage or • All cages and trolleys are subject to regular trolley over uneven surfaces by using inspections and maintenance so report any ramps and all defects • Always have 2 People similar size and • Everyone receives training and should stature per cage – more for slopes follow it • Always ensure effective communication • Active supervision of the unload to ensure between staff prior to moving cages or SSW is followed adjusting cage position. • Manual Handling Risk assessments for • Always apply proper restraint as challenging venues appropriate i.e. brakes and lanyards • Look out for each other and help each other • Use the handles to steer the cage to where possible. reduce forces required when turning • Staff should be wearing correct PPE

To push or pull? Pushing Pulling • Manufacturers and HSE • Heels and ankles easily advise pushing caught • Twisting to see route • Slips: roll cage is moving away • Lower risk of catching feet and ankles • Better posture • Less likely to tip Posture - feet well spaced and Posture : feet close hands high for pushing together and hands low for pulling
