What does TILE stand for in relation to manual handling risk assessments?
Thank you.
Thank you for your question.
TILEO is an acronym associated with manual handling and stands for:
Task
Individual
Load
Environment
Other factors
The manual handling acronym can be used to assess any manual handling activity at work.
The Health and Safety Executive website has a publication which you can freely download from their website.
The publication is called Health and Safety in a care home and you can find it here:

So it is as simple as that TILE or TILEO is an acronym for an assessment for manual handling.
I hope this is helpful.
Best wishes,
