Why teams in Tullos book this

Certification: Accredited Manual Handling certificate. Regs: Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992.

Typical manual handling scenarios on Tullos sites

Scenario 1
Repetitive picking in a chiller / cold-store environment
Scenario 2
Two-person lift of awkward kit (motors, panels, valves) up steps
Scenario 3
Push-pull loading of cages and roll-pallets at delivery bays

Audit findings this prevents

TILE assessed in the office, never on the actual task
Mechanical aids on site but never used because they're slower
Reporting only incidents, missing the near-misses that predict MSD injuries

473,000

UK workers reported a musculoskeletal disorder in 2023, half from manual handling.
