Businesses today face the constant challenge of balancing productivity, safety, and compliance. At Hyde Park Environmental we provide that balance. We know that every business inside the UK and Ireland have unique operational pressures. That's why we tailored a wide range of solutions for your specific requirements.
Every year thousands of workplace accidents happen due to unsafe manual handling. The single biggest contributor to industrial injuries. In 2023/24 the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) reported that 543,000 employees suffered from work-related musculoskeletal disorders. These injuries harm people while also costing the UK businesses millions of pounds. Lost working days, compensation claims, and reduced productivity contribute to these costly fees.
So, how can companies reduce this risk while maintaining efficiency? The answer lies in effective materials handling solutions.
What Are Materials Handling Solutions?
Materials handling solutions encompass the equipment, systems, and processes. These solutions move, store, control, and protect goods and materials. This may be through manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, consumption, and disposal. This can include items such as: racking, shelving, trolleys, trucks & trolleys. These safe, robust, organised storage units are key, required products for your business. Workers reduce physical hazards, strain and pain whilst improving workflow and prevent accidents via clutter.
Various shelving systems e.g., mobile plastic shelving and kanban shelving: Poor storage systems can lead to damaged stock, time wasted and even injuries. Efficient shelving maximises space, streamlines access, and keeps work areas compliant with regulations.
Bulk Containers: Bulk handling of materials requires strong, secure, and space-saving storage. Additionally, stackable designs optimise floor space while reducing manual lifting, they support tons when stacked and provide your company with cost- effective solutions to withstand heavy industrial use.
Bunded storage solutions: COSHH regulations, require hazardous liquids and chemicals to be protected in storage. This is required by UK legislation. Bunded IBC units, lockable cabinets, and custom containment systems ensure businesses stay compliant. In addition, these units prevent environmental harm, costly fines and reputational damage.
