As we increasingly become a blame and claim culture, the number of specialist claim firms that cover handling accidents at work has grown exponentially in the UK and worldwide. We are bombarded daily by TV, newspaper and online adverts for legal firms offering “no win/no fee” services.
Given that huge coverage, one would think that British companies have reacted accordingly, ensuring that their operations are fully covered with the latest material handling equipment. The reality is however mixed.
While some companies have invested in the latest material handling equipment, others are woefully lacking in material handling equipment leaving them exposed to potentially catastrophic risks – both to their employees and their financial future if a claim is lodged.
Where companies have invested in material handling equipment, they are not only safeguarding their employees but also improving their operational efficiency as well as ensuring that all legal and health and safety compliance is met.
This is an area that Maurice Ward of Rotair Systems Ltd http://www.rotairsystems.co.uk is keen to promote. Ward comments that where companies adhere to all best practice and have adequate measures and material handling equipment in place, they are not only ensuring that their staff have a safe environment to work in, but also improve handling efficiency.
Take a typical warehouse scenario. A pallet is delivered and unloaded and to move it within the warehouse a standard pallet truck is used. If the delivery is oversized, warehouse staff may have to break down the size and weight leading to possibly misplaced items as well as diverting valuable human resources to the task. The most typical scenario however is that more staff than necessary will attempt to move the pallet, using their own physical strength rather than the power and efficiency of material handling equipment. This exposes staff to material handling accidents as well as diverting them from their primary tasks.
Ward of Rotair Systems Ltd http://www.rotairsystems.co.uk believes that his large range of material handling equipment such as the air pallets and transporters can improve efficiency and reduce the risk of material handling accidents. Air pallets are highly scalable and capable of carrying loads from 250 kgs right up to 20 tonnes and beyond. What makes them unique is not only their load bearing but also that their size is scalable to meet all working environments – starting as small as 0.9 metres wide.
Initial investment in material handling equipment can soon be expected to pay for itself. With greater efficiency both in the warehouse and manufacturing sector, staff can dedicate their time and skills to getting on with their primary tasks without spending as much time on material handling.
