Toyota Material Handling has
published the latest edition of its
guide to safe manual handling. This
guide offers both employers and
employees guidance on the safest
ways to lift, stack and move items in
the workplace.

The Guide gives simple rules to
remember when handling loads,
recommended lifting weight
guidelines and advice on material
handling equipment that could help
reduce the risk to employees.

Toyota believes the guide will help
employers to ensure they are meeting
their legal obligations to protect their
workforce from injury. A
comprehensive assessment checklist
will help businesses to measure and
assess their current manual handling
practices and identify areas for
improvement.
