The best way to reduce the risk of injury to employees within a workplace is to minimise the amount of manual handling that they do. However, if manual handling is still required then changes to deadlines and work routines should be implemented. This means that there is less chance that the person lifting will rush the process and there should not be a need for an excessive work rate.
Another way to reduce risk is to improve the working environment. There should be a focus on maximum space, with better flooring and extra lighting too.
Of course, the best way to reduce the risk of manual handling is to provide correct training for anyone who is likely to need to lift anything. Therefore they are given the tools and knowledge to do it safely themselves.
The best way to control handling yourself is to reduce the need to lift loads as much as you can. If you do need to lift anything, then follow the guidance set out in manual handling techniques and use any appropriate equipment or tools that you have been provided with by your employer.
In order to ensure that you are safely lifting whilst you are at work you need to keep the load that you are lifting as close to your body as possible. If the load is not even, then you need to keep the heaviest side next to your body.
You should always avoid twisting your back, or leaning sideways and you should always bend and lift from your legs rather than lifting with your back.
When it comes to manual handling there are a variety of correct techniques that you should use in order to minimise your risk of injury. You want to avoid twisting your back or leaning sideways, particularly if you have your back bent.
You should keep your shoulders level and you should always face the same direction as your hips. In order to turn you should always move your feet rather than twisting and lifting at the same time.
Your head should always be up.
There are a variety of injuries that can occur due to improper manual handling. These can vary depending on what is being lifted and how heavy it is.
The most common injuries that can occur from manual handling include sprains, strains, back injuries, soft tissue injuries to arms, shoulders, legs, neck and wrists. Other possible injuries can be hernias and chronic pain.
