Beta
Need expert help with this?
We're beta testing a network of local, vetted health & safety consultants — handled for you rather than explained. Deliberately general, since this covers a range of workplace safety and manual handling needs rather than one specific trade.
If you need this sorted now
- Start with our workplace safety guidance or our manual handling guidance
- Employers have a general duty under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 to protect employees so far as is reasonably practicable — use a competent person for anything beyond your own expertise.
