Protect your Workers from Manual Handling Risks

As an employer, it is your responsibility to protect your workers from the risk of  injury from hazardous manual handling in the workplace.

Manual handling involves transporting or supporting a load by hand or bodily force including lifting, putting down, pushing, pulling, carrying or moving load.

To help prevent these risks in your workplace, the HSE have developed a step-by-step-guide.

Other information and advice available for employers include training for employees and exactly what is required by law.
