    This document defines manual handling and summarizes the UK Manual Handling Operations Regulations. It explains that manual handling involves transporting or supporting a load by hand or bodily force. The regulations establish a hierarchy for managing manual handling risks: avoiding harmful operations where possible, assessing unavoidable operations, and reducing risk of injury. The document also introduces the TILEO mnemonic for assessing manual handling risks and conducting dynamic risk assessments. TILEO stands for Task, Individual, Load, Environment, and Other factors - considerations to evaluate each manual handling activity within an organization.

    The key takeaways are that manual handling involves lifting, carrying or moving loads by hand and can cause musculoskeletal disorders. The Manual Handling Operations Regulations (MHOR) were introduced to help reduce these risks. The TILEO tool and dynamic risk assessments should be used to identify hazards and implement control measures.

    Manual handling is defined as any transporting or supporting of a load by hand or bodily force. It most commonly causes musculoskeletal disorders which are work-related ill health issues. Manual handling tasks are present in most organizations and can pose risks to workers' health and safety.

    The regulations establish a hierarchy of measures to manage risks. First, harmful manual handling operations must be avoided where possible. Then any remaining risks must be assessed. Finally, risks must be reduced through implementing control measures as far as reasonably practicable.

    Explanation of the regulations and TILE tool


    February 18, 2013 by RoSPA Training

    If youve ever wondered what manual handling is or what the regulations for manual handling are, then this post is for you. More importantly, it highlights the manual handling TILE acronym and how to implement this within your organisation.

    Definition of manual handling and the manu al handling regulations


    The Manual Handling Operations Regulations (MHOR) 1992 define manual handling as: any transporting or supporting of a load (including the lifting, putting down, pushing, pulling, carrying or moving thereof) by hand or bodily force. These regulations were developed to help your organisation reduce the number of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs), associated with Manual Handling, which is the most commonly reported type of work-related ill health. Every organisation has potentially harmful manual handling tasks and our manual handling statistics infographic illustrates why manual handling plays such a central role in occupational safety. These regulations demonstrate a hierarchy of measures that will help you manage your manual handling risks. The ranking system for this hierarchy is listed below:

    First You must avoid the harmful manual handling operations, so far as it is reasonably practicable Second Assess the manual handling operations that cannot be avoided Third Reduce the risk of injury so far as it is reasonably practicable. To help you assess manual handling risks, combat MSDs and implement the hierarchy of measures a number of different tools are available such as the MAC tool, manual handling risk assessment based on the TILEO acronym (schedule 1 of the MHOR 1992), DVDs, publications, guidance documents and manual handling training such as train the trainer.

    Manual Handling TILEO


    The manual handling TILEO acronym can be used to assess each manual handling activity within your own organisation. The acronym TILEO stands for TASK, INDIVIDUAL, LOAD, ENVIRONMENT

    and OTHER FACTORS and will help your organisation conduct dynamic risk assessments or on the spot assessments. When a detailed risk assessment is conducted, it should take account of both the relevant physical and psychosocial factors contained in Schedule 1 of the MHOR. A manual handling risk assessment will identify a number of hazards and TILEO can be used. The role of the dynamic risk assessments is to identify hazards that may appear on a day-to-day basis due to the changing nature of the work being undertaken and therefore you should train your workforce to consider TILEO before they do any manual handling. These risk assessments do not need to be written down as they form part of handlers good working practice. Handlers must observe their surroundings and take appropriate action to reduce or eliminate risks that would have not been foreseeable as part of the manual handling risk assessment. The table below demonstrates how the manual handling TILEO can be used to assess each manual handling activity within your own organisation and how TILEO can be used to conduct an on the spot assessment, which allows you to Think Before You Lift or Plan a Lift.
