Lifting above shoulder height

Thanks to Health & Safety Review for this article/checklist by Margaret Kirby.

What is different about this checklist is it was created following a court case where an injury was sustained from lifting above the shoulder. 

The checklist takes the form of questions that employers need to consider for a court case. 

Download the checklist below  - you will find it thought provoking and can easily turn it into an interesting toolbox talk.
