INTRODUCTION > Handling Regulations
CDM/ LOLER/ manual handling
Our continual process of product development dictates that the Steelway Brickhouse range
is constantly evolving to meet the requirements of an ever more demanding market place.
We consider ourselves as the provider of the total market solution, not just adhering to the
basic standard, but surpassing it with product features that aid in the handling operation
associated with access cover removal and below ground equipment retrieval.
Manual Handling Operations Regulations
The code of practice confirms that the risks involved with handling access covers increases
when the operative has to twist, stoop, push or pull the load. It also suggests maximum load
limits for various body positions during the lift. Specific products within the Steelway
Brickhouse portfolio adhere to the principles outlined within these regulations.
Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER)
This regulation is unique to maintaining operator safety at the various stages of
equipment retrieval from an open chamber. At Steelway Brickhouse, we recognise that
there is a need to go beyond just satisfying the requirements for efficient cover removal,
but also provide a solution that enables the operator to actually retrieve equipment
safely as well.
Construction (Design and Management) Regulations
The Steelway Brickhouse design team are an integral part of eliminating or reducing the
hazards faced by the operatives carrying out maintenance or cleaning work in the field. We
design and manufacture our new products with a duty of care in mind to protect the
operative where possible during access cover removal and below ground equipment
retrieval.
