Why tilers need a risk assessment
Extended kneeling during tiling work is one of the primary causes of occupational knee injury in the construction trades. The risk assessment needs to address how kneeling posture is managed during tiling work, what knee protection is used, and how rest breaks are managed to reduce the cumulative impact of sustained kneeling. || Manual handling of heavy tiles - particularly large format tiles - creates significant injury risks. How are large tiles handled? What assistance is available for heavy lifts? How are tiles moved through client properties without damage to the building or injury to the tiler? || Tile cutting equipment - wet saws, angle grinders, and manual tile cutters - creates sharp object and equipment injury risks that also need to be assessed.
The real problem
Tiler risk assessments often miss the chronic musculoskeletal risks of sustained kneeling and large format tile handling
The kneeling posture and large tile manual handling elements are the most significant long-term occupational health risks in tiling and the ones most frequently absent from risk assessment documentation. CompliantDocs generates documentation that addresses these from your answers.
