    FAQs

    I have to carry heavy stuff all the time and I've been fine up until now, surely I don't need the training?

    Just because you have been carrying heavy things for a long time, doesn't mean that it is the correct way to do things.
    You may have been causing damage to your body without realising. Incorrect manual handling is one of the most common causes of injury at work.
    Carrying out this training could result in fewer absences which is beneficial for both the employer and the employee.

    Is it the employer or the employee's responsibility to make sure that they are not lifting too much?

    All employers have a responsibility to avoid manual handling where possible if there is a risk of injury.
    If the lifting cannot be avoided then they should reduce the risk of injury as much as possible.

    What is the correct lifting technique?

    You should always test the weight of the load before lifting it. Then you should make sure that you are in a stable position.
    Always make sure you use your legs, they are your strongest muscles and minimise the pressure on your back.

    When lifting from the floor you should, find a stable position, lower to the floor by bending your knees and keeping your back straight, then bring ht load close to your body and use your legs to lift as you stand keep the neutral posture.

    What weight can I lift alone?

    There are no legal limits of what you can or can't lift at work. But 20kg is about the maximum you should be lifting.

    What is the law surrounding manual handling?

    The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 is the legislation surrounding manual handling.
    It states that if your workplace requires you to do manual handling then everyone one should undertake proper training to understand what the do’s and don'ts of lifting are.

    What is a manual handling operation defined as?

    The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 defines manual handling as “…any transporting or supporting of a load (including the lifting, putting down, pushing, pulling, carrying or moving thereof) by hand or bodily force.”

    How many people a year are injured by manual handling accidents?

    Last year, 21% of all non-fatal injuries reported were due to manual handling alone.

    Who should undertake risk assessments in the workplace?

    It is the employer's responsibility to conduct risk assessments in the workplace.

    What is the power zone?

    The power zone is the zone between your mid-thigh and mid-chest, where you can lift the most amount of weight with the least amount of exertion.

    What are TILE and LITE?

    TILE or LITE stands for load, individual, task and environment.
