u003ch2u003eManual Handling Frequently Askedu003cspan style=u0022color: #ffcd02;u0022u003e Questionsu003c/spanu003eu003c/h2u003e
-
Manual handling refers to the lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, and moving of objects by hand or bodily force. This encompasses various activities such as lifting boxes, moving furniture, or handling tools. With manual handling tasks being a routine aspect of both workplaces and daily life, training is crucial to prevent injuries and ensure the safe transportation of objects.
-
Common manual handling mistakes are prevalent throughout any business. They occur when members of staff do not follow proper lifting techniques or fail to recognise the potential lifting hazard. Some of the most common manual handling mistakes include lifting heavy loads alone, twisting the body while lifting, carrying objects too far away from the body, and failing to use lifting aids when available.
-
When staff are not trained appropriately, this can result in serious injuries and health problems. Common manual handling injuries include sprains, strains, and herniated discs. These injuries can cause long-term pain, limit mobility, and even require surgery. Additionally, making manual handling mistakes can lead to increased healthcare costs and lost productivity.
-
This Manual Handling course is designed to serve anyone who is required to lift and carry as part of their daily work activities.
