Manual Handling

Lifting and handling is something we do every day but most of the time we don’t think about the risks and the damage that we could do to ourselves.

Back disorders are the most common form of ill health disorders at work – prevention and management are the key.

It is a legal requirement for an employer to assess manual handling tasks which cannot be avoided.

It is a legal requirement to reduce the risk of injury to the lowest acceptable level.


Thousands of accidents and injuries are caused each year by incorrect lifting / manual handling. Many injuries build up over a period of time rather than being caused by a single handling incident.

Every employer should consider the risks to their employees.
