Course programme
A third of all injuries in the workplace are the result of lifting or handling heavy or awkward loads. Injuries vary from mild aches and
pains, to permanent disability and compensation. This is a hazard common to every workplace, whether an office, warehouse, factory
or construction site. The Manual Handling Operations Regulations place responsibilities on employers to reduce injuries from manual
handling and to conduct an assessment of handling operations that cannot be avoided. This seminar workshop looks at practical
ways to meet these requirements.
