Composites Set a New Standard for Manual Handling
Over the last two years, a staggering 4.5 million working days[1] were lost to workplace injuries. A fifth of these were caused by manual handling[2]. One common activity which contributes to this, posing a high risk of manual handling injuries is the removal and replacement of heavy concrete and metal manhole and trench covers. Their position and weight makes them an ideal culprit for back and finger injuries which can be compounded if the covers corrode or crumble.
