Why Is Manual Handling in Offices Important?

Some form of manual handling is required in almost every sector, and office environments are no exception. Lifting office supplies or other materials on a day-to-day basis or even occasionally can result in significant injury if done incorrectly.

This online course helps employers ensure compliance with manual handling regulations. It provides users with an understanding of this hazard and what they can do to protect themselves from accidental strain or injury.

Office workers do not handle considerably heavy loads, but the underlying back problems they may face can be serious all the same. Manual handling tasks in offices can lead to musculoskeletal disorders, pain and injury.

The manual handling in offices course provides the principles to maintain and uphold safety and best practices in the workplace.
