The Handled program

The Handled Programme (Handled) is a 12-month capability lifting, risk-reduction approach targeting hazardous manual tasks. It combines technology, specialist ergonomics input, coaching, practical resources and a structured improvement cadence. The aim is to build an internal capability that can continue to identify, assess, prioritise and reduce manual-task risk over time.

Reduce Costs

Focus effort where injury risk and business cost are greatest. Fewer claims, lower direct and indirect injury costs, and stronger financial performance.

Reclaim Time

Spend less time managing injuries and more time leading productive teams. Less time managing injuries and incidents; more time leading productive teams.

Build Capability

Equip your people to identify, assess and control manual-task risk. Skilled people, better decisions and continuous improvement that sticks.
