Manual handling involves lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling and carrying loads using physical effort. Employers have a duty to avoid hazardous manual handling where possible, assess any handling that cannot be avoided, and take action to reduce risk. Employees must take reasonable care of themselves and others. Factors like twisting, heavy loads, awkward postures, repetitive tasks and stress can cause back pain. Maintaining good posture and fitness, knowing your limits, and taking breaks can help prevent injury. A risk assessment should consider characteristics of the task, individual, load, and environment.

Safe material handling is important and risks vary by tool/equipment. Employers should provide training on safe use, especially when tools/equipment change, to improve skills and safety procedures. When lifting materials, determine if you can comfortably carry the load, get help if too large, check for hazards, lift with legs not back, and move feet to turn rather than twisting back. Proper lifting form and getting help with tough loads can prevent back injuries.

- 2. What is Manual Handling Manual Handling is the movement of loads using physical effort. It includes the lifting, lowering, pulling, pushing, carrying and supporting of loads.
- 3. The Manual Handling Operations Regulations - Employers Duty AVOID hazardous manual handling so far as is reasonably practicable. ASSESS hazardous manual handling that cannot be avoided. Take ACTION to reduce the risks so far as is reasonably practicable.
- 4. Reasonably Practicable The term reasonably practicable refers to a balance between the risk a task presents and the cost (time, trouble, financial and inconvenience) of remedial action.
- 5. The Manual Handling Operations Regulations – Employees Duty Take reasonable care of themselves and other people affected by their acts or omissions. (Don’t knowingly put yourself or others at risk)
- 6. Causes of Back Pain Twisting, stooping, stretching. Heavy lifting. Carrying loads awkwardly. Repetitive tasks. Static posture eg. driving. Stress, fatigue. Being overweight or unfit.
- 7. Back Care Maintain a good posture when lifting, carrying, sitting etc. Know your limits when lifting, carrying etc. Keep fit. Listen to your body – take breaks when needed (don’t over do it).
- 8. The Spine The spine is a delicate but incredibly strong structure. The spines natural shape is an elongated ‘S’ shape. Bad posture when sitting, lifting, watching TV etc puts the shape of the spine in to an elongated ‘C’ shape putting additional strain on muscles, nerves and other tissues.
- 9. Risk Assessment A manual handling risk assessment should take account of: TASK INDIVIDUAL(S) DOING THE TASK LOAD ENVIRONMENT What would you consider about the above ?
- 10. Task Does the task involve: Twisting, stooping, bending, holding loads away from the body, long carrying distances, large vertical movement, repetitive, strenuous pushing or pulling.
- 11. Individual(s) doing the task Is it possible for one person to do the job or is help / equipment required. Does it put people with health problems at risk eg. should a pregnant worker be doing it ? Does it call for specialist training.
- 12. Load Is the load stable, bulky, can it be reduced eg. remove packages from a box, too big, awkward shape, difficult to grasp, awkwardly stacked or stored.
- 13. Environment Are there constraints on posture. Variations in levels eg. stairs, slopes etc. Poor lighting. Inclement weather. Bumpy paths, slip hazards, doors etc. Restricted movement due to personal protective clothing eg. gloves.
- 14. Handling Loads Think before handling a load – plan first. Keep the load close to you. Adopt a stable position – feet apart with one leg slightly forward. Get a good hold of the load. Posture – bend your knees when lifting, pushing etc. Maintain the natural curves of your back. Don’t twist, stretch, stoop or bend your back. Know your limits and ask for help when you need it. Use equipment provided for you eg. trolleys.
- 15. Handling Loads
