Manual Handling, if not done correctly, is one of the leading causes of workplace injuries. It can cause back and shoulder pain, general fatigue, and even lead to stress and depression. Manual Handling is the process of lifting, pushing, pulling, and carrying objects at work. However, the manual handling tasks you undertake should be done so that no harm is caused to yourself or your surroundings.

To try and combat manual handling problems, the Manual Handling Operations Regulations were introduced. These set out the duties and responsibilities for various safety procedures and techniques that all workers should use at all times. These safety procedures and strategies aim to enhance the safe lifting, push, carrying, and shifting of loads while minimising the risk of injury.

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 any equipment their employer provides to handle loads safely.
