INDG 339 Thorough examination and testing of lifts

Introduction

The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) introduced new requirements for the safe provision and use of lifting equipment. Regulation 9 of LOLER requires that all lifts provided for use in work activities are thoroughly examined by a competent person at regular intervals. This applies to lifts and hoists used to lift people or loads.

If you are a lift owner or someone responsible for the safe operation of a lift used at work, such as a facilities manager or supervisor, you are a ‘dutyholder’ under LOLER. This means that you have a legal responsibility to ensure that the lift is thoroughly examined and that it is safe to use. (If you are the owner of a lift used primarily by members of the public, you may also find this guidance helps you to comply with more general health and safety legal duties under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974.)

INDG 363 - Noise : Protect your Hearing or Lose it

What is the problem with noise?

Noise is part of everyday life, but too much noise can cause permanent and disabling hearing damage. This can be hearing loss that gets worse over time, damage caused by sudden, extremely loud noises, or tinnitus (permanent ringing in the ears).

With hearing damage, conversation becomes difficult or impossible, your family complains about the television being too loud, you have trouble using the telephone, and you may be unable to sleep. By the time you notice, it is probably too late.

However, there is no need for your hearing to be damaged by your work – your employer has a duty to protect you and should be working on measures to reduce the risk. You can play a part in helping your employer to protect you.

INDG 382 - Road Safety - Managing Work Related

(withdrawn - archive copy)

More than a quarter of all road traffic incidents may involve somebody who is driving as part of their work at the time (Department for Transport figures). Health and safety law applies to work activities on the road in the same way as it does to all work activities and you need to manage the risks to drivers as part of your health and safety arrangements. This leaflet suggests ways you can do this.

Effective management of work-related road safety helps reduce risk, no matter what size your organisation is. It could also result in, for example:

> fewer injuries to drivers;

> reduced risk of work-related ill health;

> reduced stress and improved morale.

Health and safety law does not apply to people commuting (ie travelling between their home and their usual place of work), unless they are travelling from their home to somewhere which is not their usual place of work.

INDG 383 - Manual handling assessment charts (the MAC tool)

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), including manual handling injuries, are the most common type of occupational ill health in the UK. It is important to remember that:

> there is a lot you can do to prevent them;

> preventative measures are often simple and cost-effective;

> you cannot prevent all MSDs, but where they occur, early reporting of symptoms, proper treatment and suitable rehabilitation are essential.

The Manual Handling Assessment Charts (MAC) is a tool aimed at employers, health and safety managers and safety representatives and is used by health and safety inspectors. The tool will help you assess the most common risk factors in lifting (and lowering), carrying and team handling operations and was developed to identify high-risk manual handling.

INDG 398 - Making the best use of lifting and handling aids

Frequent and heavy lifting and handling can cause back injuries. But using lifting and handling aids can remove or reduce that risk and keep workers healthy and at work.

This guidance is intended for managers, employees and their representatives and others involved in the selection of lifting and handling aids.

Why are back injuries an issue?

Back injuries from manual handling are a major cause of occupational ill health in the UK. But:

> they can often be prevented;

> preventative measures can be cost-effective;

> where back injuries occur, early reporting of symptoms, proper treatment and suitable rehabilitation is essential.

There are health and safety benefits for employers if they control manual handling risks by the use of lifting and handling aids such as:

> improved/maintained productivity;

> reduction in retraining costs;

> limiting the options for liability;

> reduction of injury/ill health to employees.
