Manual Handling Injuries
Manual handling causes over a third of all workplace injuries. These
include work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) such as pain
and injuries to arms, legs and joints and repeti ti ve strain injuries of
various sorts.
There are ways to help prevent manual handling injuries in the
workplace. Where it is not possible to avoid handling a load,
employers must look at the risks of that task and put sensible health
and safety measures in place to prevent and avoid injury.
