The Importance of Safe Manual Handling
Manual handling involves lifting, carrying, pushing, or pulling objects by hand. While it is a common task in many workplaces, it poses significant risks if not performed correctly. Improper manual handling can result in injuries such as back pain, muscle strains, and joint problems. These injuries can lead to increased absenteeism, reduced productivity, and higher healthcare costs.

Workplace injuries related to manual handling are prevalent and can severely impact employees’ health and well-being. Common injuries include:
- Lower back pain and strain
- Shoulder injuries
- Wrist and hand injuries
- Knee injuries
Understanding these risks underscores the need for effective manual handling solutions to prevent such injuries.
