Size of problem
Between a quarter of all reported
accidents are due to faulty manual
handling. Most accidents result in
back injury, though the hands, arms
and feet may also be injured. The
costs associated with these
accidents, both in human and
economic terms, are enormous due
mainly to the chronic nature of the
disability.
Many injuries build up over a
period of time rather than being the
result of a single incident.
Who is at risk?
All employments are at risk. The highest risk
areas are those where there is repeated daily
handling of loads, for example patient handling
and goods handling.
What can be done about
it?
Avoid the need for manual handling, if possible.
* Access risk of injury from any task which cannot be
avoided.
* Reduce risk by putting in place appropriate safety
measures.
* Provide training as appropriate

Assess the risk of injury
If there is absolutely no practical
alternative to manual handling then each
manual handling task must be assessed.

identify the risks involved whichin turn
enables safe solutions to be put
into action.

What are the
maximum weights to be
lifted?
There are no longer any
absolute weight limits – for the
simple reason that there are too
many factors involved – these
risk factors have already been
covered.
Excessive fatigue
Bad posture – cramped, restricted areas
Heavy loads
Repetitive bending or twisting
Frequent lifting
Twisting
If a lifting task includes twisting there is a
considerable increase in the chance of injury.
Frequent lifting or lowering

These guideline weights assume up to 30
leisurely operations an hour – where the pace
of work isn’t forced, there are adequate
pauses to rest and the load isn’t held for any
length of time.
The weights must be reduced if the operation
is repeated more often

be provided – they can be as
simple as a sack trolley. Any

How to recognise potentially dangerous manual handling
The correct way of dealing with the problem
The use of mechanical aids
Good handling techniques

implemented by all staff.
