Incorrect manual handling is one of the most common causes of injury at work. It causes work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) which account for over a third of all workplace injuries.

Manual handling injuries can happen anywhere people are at work:

  • on farms and building sites
  • in factories
  • offices
  • warehouses
  • hospitals
  • banks
  • laboratories
  • while making deliveries.

Heavy manual labour, awkward postures, manual materials handling, and previous or existing injury are all risk factors in developing MSDs.
