Hello all,

Just looking for a bit of advice when it comes manual handling and using a disc cutter to cut paving slabs, kerbs etc.  We have the best type of disc cutter so thats not an issue, we have considered reducing the time spent on the tool through job rotation and we have given manual handling training but has anyone got any other idea's they have come across?

Thanks

Aaron

I am not sure what you are asking, probably why there is a lack of replies.

Training in their use and do a manual handling assessment. Use the MAC tool and monitor.

Is there any way you could have them pre-cut so you only cut by exception on site? If you could give a bit more detail as to what the scenario we, there may be some others who can assist

Im assuming its the lifting of the slabs themselves, do you not use any tools like these?
