They introduce ergonomics to manual handling, a secure grip, stability, and visibility. Therefore, reducing the chances of accidents and muscle strains leading to days off and long term musculoskeletal* injuries. MSK* has been highlighted as very important for employee wellbeing by the Government in Budget23 and NHS England.
Even in our modern age of automation, there are many situations where manual handling is necessary. This might be down to time, cost or “I’m here and now” so I am just going to lift this…
• 12,600 workers in the UK report suffering from musculoskeletal disorder they believed was work-related (new or long-standing cases) each year.
• From a Health & Safety professional’s perspective, there is no valid risk assessment for using devices such as wheelbarrows.

Thoroughly tested by Her Majesty’s Health & Safety Executive (HSE), iTip Handles is bringing worker protection on devices from sack trucks to wheelchairs and roll cages with rotating ergonomic iTip Handles.
• The ergonomic rotation protects the user’s back and wrists from strain injuries when using wheelbarrows. Thanks to working with LCRIG‘s innovative members, it also provides a safer 2-person wheelbarrow lift.
• Amongst the 7 safety benefits when iTip Handles are used on roll-cages, it reduces the chances of toppling, crushing, as well as broken toes and fingers.
• On sack trolleys the height is adjusted to the operator when previously this was not possible.
• On wheelchairs it adjusts the height for the carer, just not possible in its standard form, which causes arch backs and MSD. It also revolutionises inclines.

“The EZ Tippa Handles have performed magnificently on site, they are now an essential part of our handling equipment which reduces the risk of MSD for our employees, and we are looking to extend their use to other Fortis sites” Wayne Read, Site Manager Fortis

“Our road teams have found they can control the release of bitumen with a lot more accuracy when laying paths and filling holes” Tariq Anwar Senior HSEQ Advisor NY Highways
