What does the T.I.L.E. acronym stand for in relation to Moving & Handling?
T.I.L.E. is a useful acronym to help with the risk assessment process.
The first step should always be to avoid the Moving & Handling task where possible, where this isn't possible then you should consider:
T - Task (what does the task involve?)
I - Individual (the person carrying out the activity)
L - Load (the object or person that is being moved)
E - Environment (the area where the activity will be undertaken)
What about other variations?
T.I.L.E.O.
Task
Individual
Load
Environment
Other - Anything else which may impact upon the manual handling activity e.g. personal protective equipment (P.P.E)
