Health and Safety professionals apply the hierarchy of control when assessing risks. Often the solution for a manual handling task is to reduce the risk of injury by training and introducing wheelbarrows, trolleys or sack trucks into the process. However, this introduces new ergonomic risks in the form of;

1. Fixed handles with no flexibility of movement.

2. Difficult grip in a fixed position.

3. Need to change grip for the final movement of tipping the load – creating the chance of dropping the load.

Fitting rotating iTip Safety Handle's reduces the chance of injury and strain thanks to its unique rotation.  from slips and dropping the equipment. 

12,000 injuries occur from lifting, moving and carrying on-site every year. Both from a safety and comfort perspective, iTip Saftey Handles are a cost-effective safety decision for wheelbarrows, sack trucks, wheelchairs and cement mixers. iTip Safety Handles introduce a proper ergonomic handle that rotates as the device is moved, proven to reduce the chance of injury to the back and wrists by the Health and Safety Executive.
