As an employer, you must protect your workers from the risks of manual handling injuries in the workplace.
Workers are vulnerable to the risk of MSD injuries from hazardous manual handling. You can find help with preventing these sorts of risks in your workplace on our manual handling at work webpages.
We have a range of information and guidance for employers, including sections on:
- assessing manual handling
- training for workers
There are also links to useful resources, which include publications that are free to download or buy in hard copy:
