In today's competitive work environments, understanding manual handling risks and compliance requirements is crucial for employee safety. Many industries, from healthcare to construction, are affected by improper manual handling, making training essential for all.
Manual handling refers to any transporting or supporting of a load using physical force. Improper manual handling can lead to common workplace injuries, including back pain, sprains, and long-term health risks like chronic pain and mobility issues.
The Health & Safety Authority (HSA) mandates that employers provide appropriate manual handling training. Failure to comply can lead to severe legal consequences, affecting both employee welfare and company reputation.
