Benefits Of Platform Trolley Use 

Manual handling poses a real danger to the health and safety of workers, ranging from the development of musculoskeletal issues to serious workplace injuries. Using a platform trolley can help to reduce the risk of manual handling injuries, whether in office, store, warehouse, retail, or manufacturing areas.

Hazardous physical work causes around half of all injuries at work, and that costs the economy in lost productivity and high workers’ compensation costs.

Operators should be aware of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), which are injuries to the skeleton, muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments and joints. These parts of the body support and bind tissues and organs together, so the body can move and sustain itself to perform physical tasks such as lifting, pulling, pushing or other movements to carry, hold, move or handle objects during a working day. Manual handling aids such as a warehouse trolley can help in avoiding injury.

The risk of injury is likely when the worker struggles to do a task that involves one of these risk factors:

• Repetitive movement
• Repetitive or sustained force
• High or sudden force
• Sustained or awkward postures
• Exposure to vibration.

 

For tasks that cannot be fully automated, there is an increasing range of manual handling aids that workers can use to reduce the risk of injury. These include:

• Trolley of various sizes, capacity, designs and adjustability to help carry bulky, heavy and awkward loads
• Sitepro platform trolley.
• Powered tugs and electric trolleys to help pull or push heavy loads
• Portable conveyors to push items between locations
• Pallet lifters to load or unload objects at workstations
• Office trolleys for moving goods and equipment.

Invest in Folding Platform Trolleys For Workplace Safety 

Businesses and employees have an obligation to abide by the work health and workers’ compensation laws in Australia. Employers must proactively address emerging manual handling risks in the workplace according to “The Risk Management Process”. This can include the identification of hazards, assessments for the risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD), and continually reviewing and revising controls to reduce workplace accidents. 

This requires a team effort. Workplace safety law requires employers to be aware of such potential problems. They are required to talk to workers about any safety problem and listen to those who raise any concerns about the safety of that work. If any of the risk factors can be identified in the work, then it is likely to be hazardous.

There are also specific legal requirements related to manual handling work. Manual handling actions, such as lifting, pulling, or pushing loads, often continue in many workplaces every day. If not kept in check, the work may exceed a worker’s capacity to do the work and eventually result in a range of serious and potentially permanent injuries.

Investing in manual handling tools can help to mitigate the safety risks posed by manual task risks, while also increasing productivity. Sitecraft supplies a wide range of platform trolley handling equipment to meet any type of industry use, from manufacturing to warehousing, and stores and retail outlets.
