A manual handling operation may be defined as "any transporting or supporting of
a load (including lifting, putting down, pushing and pulling, carrying or moving
thereof) by hand or bodily force."
Do you comply with this legislation?
The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 (MHO) came into force on 1 January 1993.
These regulations seek to reduce the very large incidence of injury and ill-health
arising from the manual handling of loads at work. More than 1 in 4 of all reportable
injuries is caused by manual handling. These accidents do not include cumulative
injuries, particularly to the back which can lead to physical implement or even
permanent disablement.

Approximately one third of all injuries reported to the enforcing authorities are
due to incorrect manual handling. Over £100million a year is lost due to injuries
at work associated with incorrect manual handling. A major contributor factor is
the lack of proper training, supervision, information and instruction.
