Incorrect manual handling is one of the most common causes of injury at work. It causes work-related musculoskeletal disorders and accounts for over a third of all injuries. Manual handling injuries can occur anywhere where people are at work and can include lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling and carrying. The load can be animate e.g. a person or inanimate e.g. a box. Avoiding, reducing and controlling risk as laid out by the Manual Handling Regulations can reduce the likelihood of injury.
