Assess every handling task
Your consultant observes and scores every manual handling operation using the HSE's MAC and RAPP tools. Bench heights, shelf positions, pick zones and flow all mapped from what happens on site, not what the method statement says. You leave with a grounded picture of where injury risk sits.
One clear, prioritised report
You get an MHOR-compliant risk assessment report that satisfies an HSE inspector, using the full TILE framework. Every task scored and colour-coded in a risk-rated register, with a prioritised SMART action plan ranked by risk. Not a generic list.
Know who's responsible and what to do next
Practical controls assigned to reduce risk through mechanical aids, layout changes, team lifts or load-splitting. A 30-minute walkthrough with your consultant ensures every finding is understood, with 30 days of email support on implementation.

Builders Merchants
anual handling is the core daily risk for a merchant: bagged cement, aggregates, paving and timber, lifted by staff and customers alike. Our full TILE assessment meets the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 and targets the injuries that drive absence.
Warehousing & Logistics
Picking, palletising and repetitive lifting make manual handling one of the biggest cost areas in logistics. Our TILE assessment zeroes in on the awkward, repetitive lifts that wear people down over time, to meet the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992.
Manufacturing & Engineering
In manufacturing, the handling is more awkward than heavy: feeding components into machines, working parts in tight spaces, repeating the same movement against a target. Our TILE assessment covers each task at the pace your line actually runs, to meet the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992.
Garden Centres
Garden centres move some punishing loads: compost, paving, pots, water-laden plants and seasonal bulk, for staff and customers alike. Our TILE assessment covers that variable, seasonal handling, to meet the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992.
Metal Stockholders
Yard handling is high-risk by its nature: heavy, long, awkward bar, sheet and plate, often beyond what mechanical aids can take. Our TILE assessment targets those loads and the postures they force, to meet the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992.
Childcare & Nurseries
It's easy to dismiss, but the risk is real: lifting children, low furniture, cots, changing units and long stretches in awkward postures. Our TILE assessment is built for those tasks rather than warehouse loads, to meet the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992.
