Construction work by it's very nature involves many manual handling activities, in particular lifting and hauling heavy loads.
Manual handling is the major source of injury to construction workers. Many construction workers experience pain or discomfort
in the back, neck, shoulders, knees etc. often leading to time off work,
(back pain is one of the most common complaints for people taking sick leave, )
This in turn leaves the construction company short staffed, and losing money.
Many Manual handling risks can be reduced, the solutions are often simple and cost effective,
time saving, reducing time off, paying less sick pay and loss of productivity.
One of the main ways to reduce risks is to use mechanical means, electric hoists and scaffold / builders hoists / winches offer a very
cost effective way to carry/haul your heavy loads, and also save lots of time, an electric hoist can take your load to the roof of a
building in less than half the time it would take for a person to haul it up there manually.
