SG06 Manual Handling Matters

SG06 Manual Handling Matters - Poster

This NASC Manual Handling poster promotes safer working through the T.I.L.E. method, reminding scaffolders to assess task, load, individual, and environment every time.

Manual Handling Matters: Think T.I.L.E. is a clear and practical safety poster developed by the National Access and Scaffolding Confederation (NASC) to help reduce the risk of injury during manual handling operations.

Designed specifically with scaffolders in mind, the poster highlights the physical risks associated with lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling scaffold materials. It encourages workers to use mechanical or manual handling aids wherever possible and promotes safer decision-making through the well-established T.I.L.E. assessment method:

Task – assessing the activity involved

Individual – considering personal capability

Load – evaluating weight, size, and stability

Environment – identifying space, lighting, and trip hazards

Clear imagery and concise guidance make this poster easy to understand at a glance, reinforcing best practice on site. It also signposts workers to SG6 Manual Handling guidance, available from the NASC website.

Ideal for scaffold yards, site cabins, training rooms, and welfare facilities, this poster supports safer working behaviours, compliance, and injury prevention across scaffolding operations.
