Proper manual handling techniques are essential to prevent injuries and ensure workplace safety. The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 (MHOR) require employers to avoid hazardous manual handling where possible, assess the risk of injury from any unavoidable manual handling operations, and reduce the risk of injury as far as is reasonably practicable. Our manual handling training programme covers all aspects of safe lifting and carrying practices, tailored to your specific industry requirements.
In the UK, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) account for 24% of all days lost due to work-related ill health. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) reports that over 1.6 million working days are lost each year due to manual handling injuries. On average, each person suffering from a manual handling injury takes around 6.6 days off work. These statistics highlight the importance of proper training to reduce the risk of injuries and maintain productivity.
