Manual Handling

Manual Handling is often performed incorrectly and is the cause of workplace injuries. Sudden injuries to backs, joints, ligaments and muscles can be crippling to a member of your staff and lead to a prolonged absence from their role.

The Manual Handling Operations regulations stipulate a business must identify the risks to its employees from manual handling activities and actively work to eliminate, mitigate or reduce those risks.

We can help you:

• Document the assessment and subsequent control measures in the form of a written Manual Handling Risk Assessment for a particular operation or manoeuvre.
• Support with data gathering on the operations and handling tasks you perform.
• Analyse the lifting, pulling, pushing and other operations in detail, along with the equipment used and following the HSE MAC methodology, complete a Manual Handling Assessment with you.
• Offer separate Manual Handling training to help you and your staff understand how and why to lift properly.
