Many injuries are not immediate and obvious but are cumulative resulting from repeated exposure to manual handling operations

For workers this high rate of injury is highly significant since such accidents and absences lead to potential loss of earnings, missed opportunities and usually significant pain or discomfort

The Regulations lay out duties for both employees and employers. They give a general requirement that employees must be trained to manually handle correctly including the use of any equipment their employer provides to handle loads safely.

Target Audience

New starters
Any worker involved in handling loads in any work environment
Supervisors / managers also as a refresher
