Manual handling refers to the movement of objects by hand or bodily force. It includes lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, and lowering objects. Manual handling can be a hazardous task if not performed correctly, and it's a common cause of injury in the workplace. Here are some tips for safe manual handling: 1. _Assess the task_: Evaluate the weight, size, and shape of the object, as well as the distance it needs to be moved. 2. _Plan the lift_: Plan the lift, considering the route, obstacles, and potential hazards. 3. _Use proper lifting techniques_: Use proper lifting techniques, such as bending at the knees, keeping the object close to the body, and lifting with the legs rather than the back. 4. _Use mechanical aids_: Use mechanical aids, such as trolleys or pulleys, when available. 5. _Take regular breaks_: Take regular breaks to rest and recover. 6. _Train employees_: Train employees on proper manual handling techniques and provide regular refresher training. 7. _Monitor and review_: Monitor and review manual handling tasks to identify potential hazards and implement improvements. Some common manual handling hazards include: - Back injuries from lifting heavy objects - Musculoskeletal disorders from repetitive strain - Cuts and bruises from handling sharp or heavy objects - Strains and sprains from overexertion #safetyfirst #manualhandling #hseofficer

Very informative sir!! Ergonomic hazards can only be understood and prevented with our executive actions. The more we observe the posture of Workers' behaviour the more we can help them to improve them to handle the load safely and securely. Thanks for sharing sir. Stay safe
