Manual Handling
Manual handling, or to be accurate, incorrect
manual handling, is one of the most common
causes of injury at work. To try and combat manual
handling problems, the Manual Handling
Operations Regulations were introduced.
The Regulations lay out duties for both employees
and employers. They give a general requirement
that employees must be trained to manually handle correctly including
the use of any equipment their employer provides to handle loads
safely.
Important note: Please note that this is an awareness course only, if
your duties include manual handling you will also need further practical
training.
