Evolift is a set of tools to ease the lifting and handling of concrete fencing posts and concrete slabs which can be extremely heavy and difficult to manoeuvre, particularly in adverse weather conditions when a building site can be wet, muddy and very slippy.
In 2006 Evolift was recognised at the British Invention Show and received a Gold Medal Award. More recently Evolift won a Gold Medal at the Geneva International Exhibition.
More than a third of all reportable injuries of over three days involve manual handling and around 10% of major injuries are linked to manual handling. It has a major impact on all workplaces and costs the economy hundreds of millions of pounds every year.
In the UK 1.1 million people reported that they suffered from musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) caused or made worse by work. It is estimated 12.3 million working days are lost annually due to work-related MSDs.
