Manual Handling Consultancy Services
Back injuries can affect all people, in all job roles and all industry sectors. Many are irreversible and can result in significant periods of absenteeism, costing both employers and employees dear.
RoSPA’s Manual Handling Consultancy services are designed to assist organisations to:
A) Review and enhance their current arrangements in relation to managing the risks from manual handling.
B) Review the effectiveness of existing manual handling risk assessments and facilitate additional risk assessments where necessary.
A) Review and enhance organisational arrangements for the management of manual handling risks
The RoSPA Consultant will carry out a comprehensive audit that will consider:
- The current procedural arrangements for the management of manual handling risks benchmarked against current legislation and industry standards.
- The level of compliance to which these standards are achieved within the organisation.
A comprehensive report will be produced that will outline the current level of compliance with these standards and include a draft action plan of how current arrangements can be maximised.
The RoSPA Consultant can, if required, assist in the implementation of the action plan and verify by audit that objectives have been achieved.
B) Review the effectiveness of existing manual handling risk assessments and facilitate additional risk assessments where identified
The RoSPA Consultant will work in conjunction with you to review the content, quality and effectiveness of your current manual handling risk assessments to ensure that they provide a suitable and sufficient evaluation and the control measures are appropriate to ensure that employees are protected from the risk of manual handling.
The consultant will also facilitate the completion of any additional risk assessments identified through the consultation. The consultant will subsequently provide the client with records of the assessment to facilitate future reviews and to assist in the communication of hazards, risk level and compliance of control measures within the organisation.
