Workers are required to move and transport loads in multiple workplaces. Factories, warehouses, manufacturing and food processing sectors and stores are some examples. Handling of manual loads, also known as handling, includes lifting, laying, pushing, pulling, carrying or moving a load. The load handled can be a person or an object.
In order to avoid minor or major injuries, it is imperative that workers be adequately trained on the methods and techniques to be adopted in order to prevent the risk of accidents related to the handling of these loads.
