Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992
Legal Requirement
Under the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992, employers have a legal duty to avoid, assess and reduce the risk of injury from manual handling tasks. Proper training is a key part of fulfilling that duty.
Why It Matters
Manual handling injuries are one of the most common causes of workplace absence in the UK, accounting for over a third of all reported injuries. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) affect muscles, joints and tendons — often caused by poor lifting technique. Our training gives your team the practical skills and knowledge to lift and move loads safely, reducing injuries, absenteeism and associated costs.
Manual handling injuries account for over a third of all workplace injuries — training is a legal duty under MHOR 1992.
