Commercial gas bottles safety regulations
Using gas bottles for business
Manual Handling
These regulations are designed to prevent injuries related to manual handling
Manual handling is one of the leading causes of workplace injury. But, these injuries can be prevented. As an employer, you must carry out risk assessments on manual handling activities to ensure risks are as low as possible. These may include:
- Rearranging methods of working to minimise manual handling
- Distributing manual handling aids and equipment
- Providing your staff with advice and training on the best ways to lift and move gas bottles
If your business involves moving bottles for your customers, you should ensure that each customer is aware of the manual handling risks associated with moving gas bottles. This way, injuries can be prevented.
