Choose equipment and handles that allow a comfortable upright posture without excessive force. HSE’s pushing and pulling assessment flags hands below waist or above shoulder height, twisting, one-handed work and unsuitable speeds as risk factors. Assess the whole task, load and route; handle height alone does not make a heavy move safe.
