Safely handle gas cylinders
April 2009 Email to a friend   Comment on this article
 
Carver's Gasgrab provides a safer method of gas cylinder handling, and is helping companies adhere to the Health and Safety Executive's (HSE's) 1992 (Amended 2002) Manual Handling Operations Regulations.

Safely handle gas cylindersGasgrab prevents operators having to awkwardly handle cylinders while moving them. The dual-handle, scissor-action clamps and rubber grip pads mean that gas cylinders can be transported safely and efficiently, with far less strain on the user.

According to the HSE, over a third of all incidents reported that caused an employee to miss three or more days of work are caused by manual handling injuries in or around the workplace. They estimate this cost to equate to around £100 million per year.
