What is Manual Handling?
Manual handling involves tasks like lifting, pushing, pulling, or carrying objects by hand. It's common in various workplaces. Proper techniques are crucial to prevent injuries and musculoskeletal disorders. Training in manual handling provides knowledge and skills for safe and efficient handling, reducing accidents and injuries. Effective practices improve productivity, decrease work absences, and enhance workplace well-being. Employers must provide appropriate training to ensure safe work. Implementing proper manual handling techniques safeguards health, promotes a safer work environment, and increases well-being.
