However companies and organisations should also be aware of the significant advantages and benefits which can be found by investing in the correct manual handling solution.
The best solutions can substantially reduce absence due to injury and with the correct handling procedures, methods and equipment in place, significant improvements can also be made in efficency and throughput. In addition a substantial reduction in labour costs can be made as, for example, previous two man jobs are converted to one man jobs.
To meet the need for better manual handling solutions the Clow Group offers a complete Manual Handling Solutions service. This service provides clients with tailored solutions designed to meet their own particular products and handling requirements. This is achieved using a number of methods including full specialist design and the use of standard lifting equipment and products wherever possible - in this way only the end effectors and specialist tooling is made to match clients' specific product requirements.
