Posted By Rob Waldie Does anybody have an assessment tool for manual handling tasks involving pushing & pulling large trolleys and pedestrian powered pallet trucks ( some upto 250kg in weight). The operators have to move them around frequently throughout the day. The guidance in the PPE regs ( and most other places I have looked )seems a bit sparse on this topic.

Posted By Ken Taylor You refer to the PPE Regs. Have you not also looked at the guidance to the Manual Handling Operations Regs (L23)?
