Manual Handling
Do your employees have to lift, lower, carry, push or pull loads? If so, then the Manual Handling Operations Regulations will apply and you must undertake a risk assessment as a result your employees will typically need awareness training.
Do your employees know about the risks associated with manual handling? Do they know how to identify obvious hazards and deal with them? Have they been trained in safe manual handling operations?
Manual handling accidents account for over 38% of all lost time accidents at work and absence from work due to back pain is second only to the common cold. Manual handling operations are also a contributory factor in the large increase in slips, trips and falls in the workplace.
