The law sets out how employers must deal with risks from manual handling:
- avoid hazardous manual handling, so far as is reasonably practicable
- assess the risk of injury from any hazardous manual handling operations that cannot be avoided
- reduce the risk of injury from hazardous manual handling to as low as reasonably practicable
The weight of a load is important, though the law does not set specific weight limits.
Anyone who has a practical occupation which involves lifting and carrying will benefit from learning how to do this safely.
After attending this course participants will be able to:
- State the principals of safe lifting to minimise potential injuries
- Be aware of the parts of the body most at risk of injury due to poor handling techniques and common injuries that can occur
- Better recognise the risks of manual handling and understand how to reduce them in the workplace
