Manual handling covers a wide variety of tasks including lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling and carrying and when any of these tasks are carried out incorrectly there is a risk of injury.
Employers have both a legal and moral obligation to ensure that employees are protected as they move objects or people whilst in the workplace. The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 (as amended 2002) require employers to conduct risk assessments of manual handling activities that their employees undertake and provide the appropriate training.
