Preventive measures — How do you prevent MSE?
Increased stress inevitably affects the performance of your workers and therefore the success of your company. They lead to illnesses with frequent periods of absence, disruptions in operations, and ultimately additional costs.
The Load Handling Regulations (LasthandhabV) recommend mechanical equipment. (Q5)
In its brochure "Lifting and carrying without damage", the BAuA recommends the use of lifting aids and transport devices (click here to download).
The German Social Insurance for Accidents (DGUV) also recommends the use of handling and transport aids on its website. The DGUV explicitly recommends cranes, balancers/ manipulators, vacuum tube lifters and suction lifters.
