Manual Handling Training
Over a third of all accidents reported each year to the HSE are associated with Manual Handling, accounting for 16% of all major injuries reported.
The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 requires employers to make a suitable and sufficient Assessment of the Risks of Hazardous Manual Handling Operations, where these can be avoided.
