So, what are the risks of poor manual handling practices?
Poor manual handling practices increase your risk of injury. However it’s not just a case of 'pulling something' due to the weight of the item, although this can be a cause of injury. Injuries can be caused for example by the amount of times you have to pick up or carry an item; the distance you are carrying it; the height you are picking it up from or putting it down at; and any twisting, bending stretching or other awkward posture you may get in whilst doing a task.
Manual Handling Injuries can occur almost in any workplace from the office to construction sites and are known as musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Heavy manual labour, awkward postures, repetition and previous or existing injury can increase the risk of developing a musculoskeletal disorder (MSD).
You could also trip up in the process of carrying a load, dropping a heavy object on your foot or maybe injure your hand if the load is either hot, cold, rough, sharp or has burs which might catch on a ring, or other items of jewellery.
This course will help you learn how to reduce risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in the work place by teaching you what to be aware of when carrying out manual handling tasks.
