What Is Manual Handling?
Manual handling means more than just lifting or carrying something.
The term ‘manual handling’ is used to describe a range of activities
including lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, carrying and moving
an object. Employers should carry out a risk assessment and provide
training in all tasks in the workplace which involve manual handling
and should identify any risk or likelihood of injury. Where there is
a risk of injury, suitable "control measures" must be introduced.
Control measures need to be suitable and practical.
What's The Problem?
Up to one third of all work injuries in Ireland occur during manual
handling. In 2000, 35% of the accidents reported to the Health and
Safety Authority were injuries resulting from manual handling
activity. Most of the reported accidents involving manual handling
tasks cause back injury although hands arms and feet are also
vulnerable. Sometimes the person injured never fully recovers or
requires a long period of rehabilitation before they are able to
work again.What needs to be done?
Employers
To comply with current Health & Safety legislation, staff engaged in
manual handling must be given training in safe manual handling
techniques. This training will show your staff how to carry out
manual handling tasks correctly and therefore avoid back injuries.
By training your staff how to conduct manual handling safely you are
complying with your legal requirements. Back injuries caused by
incorrect manual handling techniques are one of the most frequent
causes of workers compensation claims.
