Why it Pays to Take Notice

Manual handling training is important in the workplace because it doesn't just apply to those vocations which require heavy lifting. It covers any activity that involves pushing, pulling, lowering, moving, carrying, restraining or holding an object, person or animal, or anything that requires using force.

Injuries from lifting and manoeuvring objects at work can cause great hardship to injured employees, but also results in losses to businesses of thousands of pounds each year through reduced productivity of workers, civil claims for damages to health and increased sickness absence.

Many injuries go unreported, too, for a number of reasons, including the reduced likelihood of agency or contract employees to report injury, or the fact that injury can build up over time slowly due to repetitive bad practice. Because this type of injury does not result from one single incident, and may emerge later in life, it's less likely to be reported.
