Manual Handling - Moving and Handling Objects
Manual Handling covers a wide variety of tasks. Injuries can occur at any time from incorrect lifting, carrying, pushing or pulling. These injuries will impact both the employee and the employer in terms of lost productivity, wages etc.
Manual Handling injuries account for more than a third of all over-three-day injuries reported. The Health & Safety Executive estimate that 11.6 million working days are lost every year due to work-related musculoskeletal disorders.
As with other workplace hazards and risks, prevention is always best. Being aware of the potential causes of injuries to your back, neck and upper body is vital. No one particular load is safe; each person must assess the risks involved based on their own circumstances.
