what is Manual Handling?

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders, including injuries resulting from Display Screen Equipment use and manual handling, are the most common type of occupational ill health in the UK.

 

The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 (as amended) establishes a clear hierarchy of measures for dealing with risks from manual handling. These are:

• avoid hazardous manual handling operations so far as reasonably practicable
• assess any hazardous manual handling operations that cannot be avoided
• reduce the risk of injury so far as reasonably practicable

 

To meet the requirements of this hierarchy, we can provide assistance through professional training.

 

Training is available for those in a supervisory role or workers experiencing the practical elements of manual handling. JRL Training Ltd provide training for all types of industry from office environments to the construction industry.

 

Manual handling training provides the vital knowledge to help reduce the risks of injury in the workplace. Training can help to avoid back problems and less obvious injury to hands, arms and feet. Injuries are not always immediate and can occur over a long period of time. Training in Manual Handling can lead to less work-days being lost, so saving money and reducing individual suffering.
