Health and Safety Law 2024 (October 2024)
The Risk Assessment of Pushing and Pulling (RAPP) tool is designed to consider pushing and pulling tasks, which the HSE says are often ignored because they are often seen as solutions for manual handling: “put the load onto a trolley and push it”. However, it advises that there are still issues, such as distance, uneven surfaces, obstructions, and slopes or stairs.
