  • Free Manual Handling Course

  • This disclaimer I understand to mean that I have been offered a free course on manual handling and general safety. I have completed this and returned it understanding the above and that my refusal to attend means that I either have attended a previous course or understand what the course entails or I do not wish to attend for personal reasons negating Mainstream from its responsibilities for any accidents manual handling or general health and safety.

  • Manual handling technique

    STOP AND THINK. Plan the lift. Where is the load to be placed? Use appropriate handling aids if possible. Do you need help with the load? Remove obstructions such as discarded materials. For a long lift, such as floor to should height, consider resisting the load mid-way on a table or bench to change grip. POSITION THE FEET. Feet apart, giving a balanced and stable base for lifting (tight skirts and unsuitable footwear will make this difficult). Leading leg as far forward as is comfortable and is possible, pointing in the direction you intend to go. ADOPT A GOOD POSTURE. When lifting from a low level, bend the knees. But do not kneel or overflex the knees. Keep the back straight, maintaining its natural curve (tucking in the chin helps). Lean forward a little over the load if necessary to get a good grip. Keep the shoulders level and facing in the same direction as the hips. GET A FIRM GRIP. Try to keep the arms within the boundary formed by the legs. The best position and type of grip depends on the circumstances and individual preference, but must be secure. A hook grip is less tiring than keeping the fingers straight. If you need to vary the grip as the lift proceeds, do it as smoothly as possible. KEEP CLOSE TO THE LOAD. Keep the load close to the trunk for as long as possible, keep the heaviest side of the load next to the trunk. If a close approach to the load is not possible, slide it towards you before trying to lift. DON’T JERK. Lift smoothly, raising the chin as the lift begins, keeping control of the load. MOVE THE FEET. Down twist the trunk when turning to the side. PUT DOWN THEN ADJUST. If precise positioning of the load is necessary, put down first and then slide it into the desired position.

    I acknowledge that I have received, read and understood the content of this document relation to Good Handling Technique.

    • Non Swedish Derogation Information

      This is to advise of an impending change in Legislation which will in some cases benefit Agency workers on PAYE payrolls. Since 2011 all Staff employed by Mainstream Fleet Services have been registered and employed under a Swedish Derogation contract. This entails but is not limited to, Parity on certain Day 1 rights, such as:

      Canteen facilities, Car park use, Rest room facilities and access to areas such as a Crèche, and if waiting lists apply then equal access tojoin them, and lastlyequal access toFull time vacancies ( but no guarantee of one).

      In late 2010 prior to the Agency Worker Regulations going live in 2011, Sweden introduced a new piece of legislation that effectively gave an option to take Parity of pay away from the orig inal AWR Act. Companies obviously jumped at the chance to defend charge rates by ensuring virtually all Agencies changed to Swedish Derogation contracts of employment only. So, for the last 9 years Mainstreams PAYE workforce has been on the PBA Swedish Derogation contracts and not had the possible benefit of earning the rights to parity of pay.

      The Government sponsored Taylor “Good Work report” identified that PBA Swedish Derogation clause 10 contracts did not effectively work to the benefit of Workers and as such has repealed the Act with effect from April 6th 2020.

      What does this mean for you?

      A worker has to accrue 12 weeks’ service with a Client (one day a week constitutes a week in this instance, for clarity Mainstream will use a pay week as the calculator model and not a fixed week) and accrual does not have to be continuous. There can be breaks of up to 6 weeks between accrual weeks and the clock will still continue. (there are other exceptions for longer term pauses on the clock, such as extended sickness, industrial action, shut downs, jury service and pregnancy). Once the 12 weeks is complete you will be entitled to:

      • Equal pay including overtime and the method by which overtime is applied.
      • Shift premiums where applicable instead of higher hourly rates for night which apply in some cases.
      • Duration of working time.
      • Night work.
      • Bonus or commission payments related directly to the quality and quantity of work carried out by you.
      • Rest periods.
      • Rest breaks.
      • Annual leave. (accrued at 28 days per annum at Mainstream currently) accrual will be greater if day 1 rights are greater.

      The comparator is the day 1 starter rates of the workers employed on the same site as yourselves by the same Client, and, there has to be an Employed worker in the same role as you for the establishment of what parity may be. For example a site using you in a singular role/s would have no comparator, a site or area of a site using solely Agency staff with no full time workers would potentially have no comparators. Each situation will be judged on the legal guidelines and be led by discussions between the Agency and the Client.

      Entitlements that are not gained through Parity:

      • Benefits in kind.
      • Vouchers which are a salary sacrifice.
      • Pension payments (Mainstream auto-enrolment pension only)
      • OSP.
      • Redundancy.
      • Notice pay.
      • Advances and loans
      • Share and option schemes.
      • Maternity and paternity pay over and above statutory entitlements.
      • Loyalty bonuses or any bonus payments which are not directly attributable to the amount or quality of work performed by you.
      • Guarantee payments.
      • Expenses.
      • Health/life insurance.

      As you can see this is a complex change in Legislation and Mainstream will be sending out further fact sheets in due course. In the shorter term the Contract you are currently employed on needs to be updated to allow for Clause 10 non Parity to be removed, in addition as this falls under “some other substantial reason” (SOSR) it is deemed as reasonably justified to change Contracts due to a change in legislation. By signing a new Contract, you retain total continuity of employment and all other static legal employment rights accrued too date.

      As previously stated the changes come into force on the 6th April 2020 and accruals begin only from that point, no periods prior to this date of service will be considered. A point to note for the future is that accrual of service can be gained through more than one Agency and you should ensure that if you do work in a location for more than one Agency, you advise the new Agency at all times to ensure your entitlements are correctly judged and tracked.

      Mainstream will track all workers to ensure the correct payments are made and during the course of the next month are hopeful that all parity rates will be visible. Until such time ra tes will remain in place as are, but in the event a Client decided to introduce an interim rate or Parity early, Mainstream will of course advise you in writing normally via the Notice of Assignment.

      It is appreciated that this is a lot to take in but, for the most part it should for many (not all) beneficial to you, however between now and April 6th Mainstream urgently need the return of these new contracts, either by hand, e-mail or post. If you have any issues, please ensure you contact Mainstream and arrange for a chat or an appointment so that the proper time can be allocated to each case.
