Why workplace ergonomics matters in the UK

Safe pushing and pulling according to HSE guidance

Manual handling (pushing, pulling, and manoeuvring equipment) is a major contributor to musculoskeletal disorders and workplace injury. This is especially critical in sectors like UK healthcare, logistics, warehousing, manufacturing and hospitality sectors. High push/pull forces during manoeuvring, starting, stopping, or changing direction increase the risk of injury.

Our electric drive wheel reduces these risks by:

Minimizing peak forces on employees
Supporting UK HSE manual handling guidelines and ISO 11228-2 international guidelines for pushing and pulling
Reducing physical strain and improving workplace safety

Guidelines for pushing and pulling

Ergonomic tools for workplace risk assessment

Esense provides advanced tools to measure, analyse, and improve work ergonomics:

Esense Impact Analysis:a data-driven tool that measures push and pull forces, visualises peak loads, calculates costs and ROI, and provides practical recommendations for workplace improvements.
Ergometer: measures the forces on any mobile product, allowing organisations to substantiate ergonomic interventions with real data.
PowerTalk: a software-as-a-service tool that collects ergonomic data, analyses workplace strain, and provides actionable recommendations to enhance employee wellbeing and safety.

Objective measurements support ergonomic risk assessments: esense tools turn data into actionable solutions for healthier work.

"...I can now push with just one hand"

“The previous trolley was very difficult to drive and caused me pain. I’m very satisfied with the new drive. I can now push with just one hand, even with my frozen shoulder.”

"...chance to embed risk prevention and staff welfare"

“Budgets must be justified, but we knew any injury causing extended sick leave would significantly impact staffing. This was our chance to embed risk prevention and staff welfare into our capital replacement program.”
