Cut Costs and Boost Safety: Discover the Critical Solutions for Efficient Material Handling in Construction

Are you facing challenges in moving materials efficiently on your projects? Does the reliance on manual labour to move pieces of material seem like a drain on your time and resources? These problems are all too familiar for many in the construction and industrial sectors.

In today’s fast-paced environment, the need for effective material handling and lifting solutions has never been more urgent. Manual handling injuries remain a significant concern, with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) reporting that they account for over 30% of all workplace accidents in the UK construction industry.

In Ireland, the Health and Safety Authority (HSA) highlights that manual handling is the leading cause of non-fatal workplace injuries, responsible for about one-third of all reported incidents.

Moreover, inefficiencies related to material handling are costing the UK construction sector an estimated £1.2 billion annually, according to the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB).
