Poly Manual Handling Sign | Warehouse & Loading Docks

This prohibition sign provides clear instructions on manual handling to prevent back injuries in high-traffic areas like warehouses, loading docks, and distribution centres. It serves as a constant visual reminder for staff and contractors to avoid improper lifting techniques when moving stock or equipment in a busy industrial setting.

Placing these safety signs at eye level near racking or packing stations helps reduce the risk of musculoskeletal strain. By instructing workers to bend their knees and obtain assistance for heavy loads, the sign encourages a culture of safety before a lift begins. This is particularly useful for new staff or agency workers who may be unfamiliar with site-specific weight limits, ensuring that heavy lifting is a coordinated effort rather than a solo risk. It simplifies the communication of safety protocols without requiring a supervisor to be present for every single movement.

The sign is manufactured from poly material and measures 600x400mm. It references AS1314-1994 for prohibition sign requirements.
