Course Overview
Incorrect manual handling is responsible for more than a third of all reported workplace injuries each year.
If manual handling isn’t carried out properly, it can have significant consequences for your health (such as musculoskeletal disorders), particularly if you perform manual handling tasks regularly.

Why is Manual Handling Training Important?
It's important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.
Under The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 Manual Handling is taken to include the lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, carrying and movement of anything by hand or bodily force. The Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999 (13(2)) require that every employer must ensure that their employees are provided with adequate health and safety training.
Council Directive 90/269/EEC of 29th May 1990 refers to the minimum health and safety requirements for the manual handling of loads where there is a risk of injury (especially back-related) to workers.
Employers must ensure that workers receive proper training and information on how to handle loads correctly, and the risks they might be open to - particularly if these tasks are not performed correctly Council Directive 90/269/EEC, Article 6, Section 2
