GRABO Improving Manual Handling Safety – presentation by Patrick Myatt of GRABGO.

GRABO are delivering an interactive presentation to highlight that whilst mechanical aids should be used for lifting and manoeuvring materials where possible, the fact is that many situations still rely on manual handling, particularly at point of installation.

Discussions as to how the Grabo Vacuum Lifter supports a better lifting position, and keeps fingers away from material edges, minimising pinches and cuts, whilst reducing the risk of drops and breakages.

Specific applications where the Grabo is helping across the construction industry and beyond will be discussed and there will be opportunity for attendees to try it for themselves to get an understanding of how it may help them in their own companies.

Should you have any questions, please let a member of the HOHSG team know, we look forward to hearing from you, or for further detail, please visit our website.

When: Wednesday 11th September 2024, 1.30pm* start – 15.30pm (approx.)

*Session will start at this time, please arrive a little in advance.
