This booklet explains the problems associated with manual handling and sets outbest practice in dealing with them. The advice is intended for managers of small
firms or similar organisations. But the general principles are relevant to all
workplaces, whatever their size. Avoiding injuries from manual handling makes
sound business sense.
The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992, as amended in 2002 (‘the
Regulations’) apply to a wide range of manual handling activities, including lifting,
lowering, pushing, pulling or carrying. The load may be either inanimate - such as
a box or a trolley, or animate - a person or an animal. This guidance gives useful
practical advice for employers, managers, safety representatives and individual
employees on how to reduce the risk of injury from manual handling.
