Testing kit
September 1st 2008

A manual handling kit from MecMesin enables businesses to test tasks which require personnel to exert physical force to push, pull, lift, carry or use repetitive movements. The kit is designed to help reduce work-related injuries and damage to equipment that can occur through lack of knowledge of a task's true requirements.

It incorporates a force gauge and accessories to measure the force used in physically demanding tasks and the capacity of personnel to perform the task by mimicking a person's action.

Employers gain a better understanding of the application's requirements, the ability to match task to individual and capabilities.

They can then introduce processes to enable personnel to work unhindered by previous risks.
