Manual Handling

SUMMARY

Musculoskeletal disorders account for almost half of all work-related ill-health and manual handling injuries represent over a third of accidents reported annually. Accordingly, this course, embracing continuing best practice and legislative amendments (notably European directives), covers risks from activities like lifting, loading, pushing, pulling, carrying or moving materials and the duties requiring employers to comply with the Regulations.

Applicable in all such work places, whether loads are inanimate, eg trolleys or boxes, or animate such as persons or animals.
