| Musculo-skeletal risk minimisation |
Description of Entry
During a risk assessment review at Lydd, musculoskeletal risks were scored as high. The team identified moving lubricants into the store and moving gas bottles on-site as the highest risk activities.
Following a review, the lubricant requirement was consolidated into three main types which then justified these being delivered in bulk. New storage tanks were installed allowing bulk tanker deliveries directly into the storage tanks. The lubricant is dispensed from outside the store.
A special cage was fabricated that enabled gas bottles to be safely moved around the site by a telehandler.
Benefits
• The risk to musculo-skeletal health has been significantly reduced
• Awareness of musculo-skeletal risks has been raised
• The project has reinforced already high SHE behaviours at Lydd.
