"Don't bin your back, a joint GMB/SITA project, has completed a comprehensive analysis of manual handling and back pain issues in the waste management industry and has devised detailed health and safety advice and guidance, including a video, for refuse collection work. GMB says HSE has no industry specific guidance for the thousands of people working in waste collection. All of these materials are available to buy, and are free to GMB safety representatives from GMB regional health and safety officers. The project was funded by the Department of Health, as part the Healthy Workplaces initiative."
