Lifting Gear Versus Manpower

So let us look at the question; which is best

, manpower of lifting equipment. There are numerous elements to consider when deciding the solution but the safety factor is probably the biggest, as we live in an extremely safety conscious world and employers are concious of the fact that protecting employees from possible accidents is of the upmost importance to protect them from further claims and costs.

The safety factors of using a lifting gear device far outweighs the benefits of manpower alone. It's common knowledge that lifting any object in an incorrect manner can lead to possible injury, the most often seen are neck and back related. Used in the approved manner a lifting device will cause no strain on the human skeleton because the device used will take the weight of the load as well as in some cases manouevre it , so you will have minimal risk of injury.

An additional issue raised is cost efficiency, important in all companies. Let us look at this issue closer. Using a type of lifting gear device will have the costs of the original purchase after which further (usually minor) costs of inspections and repairs, then naturally there can be any running costs to take into consideration if appropriate. Considering the manpower side, there will be wages and possible pension related payments, however you need to think about the chance that the employee might be sick, so time off, less manpower, less productivity and sick pay, in addition the prospect of a more significant work related injury resulting in long term sick pay, a man down long term so it will probably necessitate employing a further employee temporarily, and also the chance of an accident claim, of which payouts may be costly.

An additional advantage of utilizing a lifting device is that they can lift objects that would otherwise be unachievable for a human to lift.

There is another way of looking at the benefits where manpower will win the toss, this can be for the reason that a person might have many different uses, and capable of assorted tasks, however a number of lifting devices might just be suitable for 1 or 2 tasks. So the answer will depend on what the task is and its frequency, and also the kind of lifting gear device that is chosen.

So what is the answer, manpower or a lifting gear device, I believe the answer really lies with the individual, nevertheless with reference to the questions of safety i would think that the use of a lifting device would be of more benefit.
