Manual handling relates to the moving of items either by lifting, lowering, carrying, pushing or pulling. Injuries can be caused because of the amount of times you have to pick up or carry an item, the distance you are carrying it, the height you are picking it up from or putting it down at, and any twisting, bending, stretching or other awkward posture you may get in whilst doing a task.

MPS Training Services course ensures that your knowledge of good lifting technique is up to date, helping you to avoid injury at work.
