Manual Handling Risk Assessment

Duration: One day

Course Overview

Manual handling injuries currently account for over a third of all injuries reported to the authorities each year. Whilst fatal handling injuries are unusual, on average 6% of all major injuries arise from handling activities. There is more absence as a result of injuries sustained during manual handling operations than from any other cause of accidents at work. While earlier legislation had concerned itself specifically with the maximum weight of a given load, it is now recognised that there are several other factors that are of equal significance and which must be taken into account when assessing the safety of a manual handling operation.
