Reduce the risks associated with hazardous manual tasks.
Musculoskeletal and connective tissue diseases, alongside traumatic joint, ligament, and muscle/tendon injuries, account for over 50% of serious workers’ compensation claims in Australia (Safe Work Australia). As our workforce ages, these claims are continuing to increase.
Handled was created to be a tool that is truly accessible to everyone in the workplace. Because of this, it had to be an app—but it also needed to meet these specific requirements:
- Written for accessibility: Content is tailored to the average reading age of Australians (12–14 years) to ensure clear understanding for all.
- Simple instructions: Easy-to-follow steps to guide users through every task.
- Inbuilt photo consent: Streamlined permission for capturing visual evidence.
- Efficient: Takes less than 20 minutes to complete a full assessment.
- Consultative: Involves direct input from the workers actually performing the tasks.
- Evidence-based: Captures data using proven manual task risk assessment tools.
- Seamless implementation: Simple to roll out across any organisation.
- Flexible pricing: Usage-based monthly pricing with no limit on the number of users.
- Secure: Keeps all sensitive data safe and protected.
- Comprehensive reporting: Automatically produces a Manual Task Risk Register and a detailed Task Analysis Report for every task.
And we’ve done it! Handled is already making a difference, having been integrated into major hospitals in Victoria and with a leading national manufacturer.
