The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 (as amended in 2002) apply to a wide range of manual handling activities, including lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, or carrying (the load may be a box, trolley, or any other object). More than a third of all injuries over-three-day reported each year to HSE and local authorities are caused by manual handling. Manual handling is the transporting or supporting of loads by hand or by bodily force.
This course run by London Recruitment has been designed to cover a wide range of lifting techniques with various items to ensure the risk of injury is dramatically reduced.
