Moving loads: manual handling 293-6 mechanical

More than a third of over-three-day injuries reported each year are associated with manual handling. Manual handling is defined as the transporting or supporting of loads by hand or bodily force, i.e. human effort as opposed to mechanical handling such as a crane or fork-lift truck. Introducing mechanical assistance, e.g. a sack truck, may reduce but not eliminate manual handling since human effort is still required to move, steady or position the load. [Pg.313]
