Manual Handling

  • Nearly all tasks involve manual handling. This can mean lifting and carrying, pushing or pulling a range of objects. Some manual handling injuries may develop over a period of time rather than being the result of a single accident. Other injuries from manual handling include bruises, cuts, hernias, wrenched shoulders and crushed limbs.
    Back injuries, are a major concern for manual handling operations and can be caused by bad handling techniques. If a load is lifted with the back in the wrong position, the lower back will take a lot of pressure. It is not designed to take this strain and may be damaged as a result.
    It is not just lifting that causes strain. Over reaching and twisting when moving objects can also lead to injury.
    Before lifting assess the weight of a load. Can manual handling of the object be avoided, and lifting machinery or aids be used instead? If not, do you need help in moving the load? If more than one person will be involved, you must work as a team with one person supervising the lift.
    Assess the need for protective clothing. Should you be wearing gloves to protect your hands, or steel capped boots on your feet, or any other protective clothing?
    Stop and think- PLAN THE LIFT. Where is the load to be placed? Use appropriate handling aids if possible. Do you need help with the load? Remove obstructions such as discarded wrapping materials. For a long lift, such as floor to shoulder height, consider resting the load mid-way on a table or bench to change grip.
    Position the feet
    Feet apart, giving a balanced and stable base for lifting (tight clothing and unsuitable footwear make this difficult). Leading leg as far forward as is comfortable and if possible, pointing in the direction you intend to go.
    Adopt a good posture
    When lifting from a low level, bend your knees. But do not kneel or overflex the knees. Keep the back upright, maintaining its natural curve (tucking in the chin helps). Lean forward a little over the load if necessary to get a good grip. Keep the shoulders level and facing in the same direction as the hips.
    Get a firm grip
    Try to keep the arms within the boundary formed by the legs. The best position and type of grip depends on the circumstances and individual preference; but must be secure. A hook grip is less tiring than keeping the fingers straight. If you need to vary the grip as the lift proceeds, do it as smoothly as possible.
    Keep close to the load
    Keep the load close to the trunk for as long as possible. Keep heaviest side of the load next to the trunk. If a close approach to the load is not possible, slide it towards you before trying to lift.
    Don’t jerk - Lift smoothly, raising the chin as the lift begins, keeping control of the load.
    Move the feet - Don’t twist the trunk when turning to the side.
    Put down first, then adjust
    If precise positioning of the load is necessary, put it down first, then slide it into the desired position.
    If in doubt, get help.
    NEVER put your health at risk - if you’re unsure, always ask for assistance.
    SLD carry out on-site manual handling training assessments, records of which will be held on file. Below is a list of general products that are used by SLD that will be lifted as part of routine works, The Manual handling hierarchy as set out above will be followed at all times. SLD provide lifting and moving equipment to enable materials to be moved from place to place, always ensure that lifting / moving equipment is NEVER overloaded – if you are unsure – ASK YOUR SUPERVISOR!!

  • I understand that i must assess all loads prior to moving, pushing, or pulling any item, and use mechanical means (where possible) safely and within the Safe Working Limitations.

Anti Slavery & Human Trafficcing

  • This policy applies to all persons working for us on our behalf in any capacity, including employees at all levels such as directors, Managers, Supervisors, General operatives, Office employees, contractors and suppliers.

    The business strictly prohibits the use of human trafficking and modern slavery in our operations and supply chain. We have and will continue to be committed to implementing systems and controls aimed at ensuring that modern slavery is not taking place anywhere within our organisation or in any of it supply chains. We expect that our suppliers will hold their own suppliers to the same high standards.
    Modern slavery is a term used to encompass slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour, bonded and child labour and human trafficking. Human trafficking is where a person arranges or facilitates the travel of another person with a view that the person in question is being exploited. Modern slavery and human trafficking is a crime and violates fundamental human rights.

    Commitments

    We are a company that expects everyone with us or on our behalf to support and uphold the following measures to safeguard against modern slavery.

Workers must not engage in, facilitate or fail to report any activity that might lead to, or suggest, a breach of this policy. • We are committed to engaging with our stakeholders and supplier to address the risk of modern slavery in our operations and supply chain. • We take a risk based approach to our contracting process and keep them under review. We will assess whether the circumstances warrant the inclusion of specific prohibitions against the use of modern slavery and trafficked labour in our contracts with any third parties. With our risked based approach, we may also assess the merits of writing to suppliers requiring them comply with our code of conduct, which sets out the minimum standards required to combat modern slavery and trafficking. • Consistent with our risk based approach we may require: • to our organisation to confirm their compliance with our code of conduct.
    • Suppliers engaging workers through third party to obtain that third parties agreement to adhere to the code. • As part of ongoing risk assessment due to diligence processes we will consider whether circumstances warrant us carrying out audits of suppliers for their compliance with our code of conduct. • If we find that other individuals or organisations or organisations working on our behalf have breached this policy we will ensure that we take appropriate action. This may range from considering the possibility of breaches being remediated and weather that might represent the best outcome for those individuals impacted by the breach to terminating such relationships.

  • I agree to the anti slavery and human trafficcing policy

Anti Bribery & Anti corruption Policy

  • This anti-bribery policy exists to set out the responsibilities of the business and those who work for us in regards to observing and upholding our zero-tolerance position on bribery and corruption. • It also exists to act as a source of information and guidance for those working for the business.

We are committed to acting professionally, fairly, and with integrity in all business dealings and relationships, wherever in the country we operate. • will constantly uphold all laws relating to anti-bribery and corruption in all the jurisdictions in which we operate. We are bound by the laws of the UK, including the Bribery Act 2010, in regards to our conduct both at home and abroad. • the business recognises that bribery and corruption are punishable by up to ten years of imprisonment and a fine. If our company is discovered to have taken part in corrupt activities, we may be subjected to an unlimited fine, be excluded from tendering for public contracts, and face serious damage to our reputation. It is with this in mind that we commit to preventing bribery and corruption in our business, and take our legal responsibilities seriously. This anti-bribery policy applies to all employees (whether temporary, fixed-term, or permanent), consultants, contractors, trainees, seconded staff, home workers, casual workers, agency staff, volunteers, interns, agents, sponsors, or any other person or persons associated with us (including third parties), or any of our subsidiaries or their employees, no matter where they are located (within or outside of the UK). The policy also applies to Officers, Trustees, Board, and/or Committee members at any level. • In the context of this policy, third-party refers to any individual or organisation our company meets and works with. It refers to actual and potential clients, customers, suppliers, distributors, business contacts, agents, advisers, and government and public bodies – this includes their advisors, representatives and officials, politicians, and public parties. • Any arrangements our company makes with a third party is subject to clear contractual terms, including specific provisions that require the third party to comply with minimum standards and procedures relating to anti-bribery and corruption. Bribery refers to the act of offering, giving, promising, asking, agreeing, receiving, accepting, or soliciting something of value or of an advantage so to induce or influence an action or decision. A bribe refers to any inducement, reward, or object/item of value offered to another individual in order to gain commercial, contractual, regulatory, or personal advantage. • Bribery is not limited to the act of offering a bribe. If an individual is on the receiving end of a bribe and they accept it, they are also breaking the law. • Bribery is illegal. Employees must not engage in any form of bribery, whether it be directly, passively (as described above), or through a third party (such as an agent or distributor). They must not bribe a foreign public official anywhere in the world. They must not accept bribes in any degree and if they are uncertain about whether something is a bribe or a gift or act of hospitality, they must seek further advice from the company’s compliance manager. What is and what is NOT acceptable This section of the policy refers to 4 areas: 1. Gifts and hospitality. 2. Facilitation payments. 3. Political contributions. 4. Charitable contributions. the business accepts normal and appropriate gestures of hospitality and goodwill (whether given to/received from third parties) so long as the giving or receiving of gifts meets the following requirements: It is not made with the intention of influencing the party to whom it is being given, to obtain or reward the retention of a business or a business advantage, or as an explicit or implicit exchange for favours or benefits. • It is not made with the suggestion that a return favour is expected. • It is in compliance with local law. • It is given in the name of the company, not in an individual’s name. • It does not include cash or a cash equivalent (e.g. a voucher or gift certificate). • It is appropriate for the circumstances (e.g. giving small gifts around Christmas or as a small thank you to a company for helping with a large project upon completion). • It is of an appropriate type and value and given at an appropriate time, taking into account the reason for the gift. • It is given/received openly, not secretly. • It is not selectively given to a key, influential person, clearly with the intention of directly influencing them. • It is not above a certain excessive value, as pre-determined by the company’s compliance manager (usually in excess of £100). • It is not offer to, or accepted from, a government official or representative or politician or political party, without the prior approval of the company’s compliance manager. • Where it is inappropriate to decline the offer of a gift (i.e. when meeting with an individual of a certain religion/culture who may take offence), the gift may be accepted so long as it is declared to the compliance manager, who will assess the circumstances. •the business recognises that the practice of giving and receiving business gifts varies between countries, regions, cultures, and religions, so definitions of what is acceptable and not acceptable will inevitably differ for each. • As good practice, gifts given and received should always be disclosed to the compliance manager. Gifts from suppliers should always be disclosed. The intention behind a gift being given/received should always be considered. If there is any uncertainty, the advice of the compliance manager should be sought. • Facilitation Payments and Kickbacks - the business does not accept and will not make any form of facilitation payments of any nature. We recognise that facilitation payments are a form of bribery that involves expediting or facilitating the performance of a public official for a routine governmental action. We recognise that they tend to be made by low level officials with the intention of securing or speeding up the performance of a certain duty or action. • the business does not allow kickbacks to be made or accepted. We recognise that kickbacks are typically made in exchange for a business favour or advantage. • the business recognises that, despite our strict policy on facilitation payments and kickbacks, employees may face a situation where avoiding a facilitation payment or kickback may put their/their family’s personal security at risk. Under these circumstances, the following steps must be taken: • Keep any amount to the minimum. • Ask for a receipt, detailing the amount and reason for the payment. • Create a record concerning the payment. • Report this incident to your line manager. • Political Contributions – the business will not make donations, whether in cash, kind, or by any other means, to support any political parties or candidates. We recognise this may be perceived as an attempt to gain an improper business advantage. • Charitable Contributions –the business accepts (and indeed encourages) the act of donating to charities – whether through services, knowledge, time, or direct financial contributions (cash or otherwise) – and agrees to disclose all charitable contributions it makes. • Employees must be careful to ensure that charitable contributions are not used to facilitate and conceal acts of bribery. • We will ensure that all charitable donations made are legal and ethical under local laws and practices, and that donations are not offered/made without the approval of the compliance manager. Employee Responsibilities • As an employee of the business , you must ensure that you read, understand, and comply with the information contained within this policy, and with any training or other antibribery and corruption information you are given. • All employees and those under our control are equally responsible for the prevention, detection, and reporting of bribery and other forms of corruption. They are required to avoid any activities that could lead to, or imply, a breach of this anti-bribery policy. • If you have reason to believe or suspect that an instance of bribery or corruption has occurred or will occur in the future that breaches this policy, you must notify the compliance manager. • If any employee breaches this policy, they will face disciplinary action and could face dismissal for gross misconduct. the business has the right to terminate a contractual relationship with an employee if they breach this anti-bribery policy. What happens if I need to raise a concern? This section of the policy covers 3 areas: 1. How to raise a concern. 2. What to do if you are a victim of bribery or corruption. 3. Protection. 1. How to raise a concern • If you suspect that there is an instance of bribery or corrupt activities occurring in relation to the business, you are encouraged to raise your concerns at as early a stage as possible. If you’re uncertain about whether a certain action or behaviour can be considered bribery or corruption, you should speak to your line manager, the compliance manager, the director, or the Head of Governance and Legal. • the business will familiarise all employees with its whistleblowing procedures so employees can vocalise their concerns swiftly and confidentially. 2. What to do if you are a victim of bribery or corruption: • You must tell your compliance manager as soon as possible if you are offered a bribe by anyone, if you are asked to make one, if you suspect that you may be bribed or asked to make a bribe in the near future, or if you have reason to believe that you are a victim of another corrupt activity. 3.
