About Manual Handling in Construction

In construction projects, lifting and handling heavy loads is a common practice, but so are workplace injuries caused when conducting manual handling work.

Employers have a legal duty to lower the risk of workplace hazards, such as manual handling, to an acceptable level. This includes providing adequate training to ensure they understand the risks and how to protect themselves and others from injury.

Why Is Manual Handling in Construction Important?

Injuries sustained when handling or moving heavy loads can be damaging to the worker’s health and the employer’s reputation. The inherent risk of such injuries in construction sites means that following risk-prevention processes, safety measures and ensuring proper compliance is a necessity.

This course supports compliance with the relevant manual handling legislation.
