What is manual handling?

Manual handling is a term used to describe the transporting or supporting of loads by hand or by bodily force when lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, carrying or otherwise moving, holding or restraining a person, animal or object.

Manual handling can be divided into 3 distinct areas;

• Job task evaluation
• Door and building hardware
• Ergonomics and occupational therapy
