Manual Handling

Manual handling is any activity involving the use of muscular force (or effort) to lift, move, push, pull, carry, hold or restrain any object, including a person or animal.

It covers more than lifting heavy weights and affects more than the back.

Manual handling also includes:

• Repetitive activity seen in assembly work 
• Sustained muscle exertion required to restrain or support a load and the effort needed to maintain the fixed postures that occur in the back and neck while typing
• Over 30 percent of all accidents reported to the HSE are connected with manual handling

What will delegates learn?

• Employee responsibilities
• The types of injury and common causes, including the contribution of activities both within and outside of the workplace
• How to apply principles of good posture

• The practical application of these techniques in a range of lifting scenarios
