Manual Handling Safety

Many seemingly harmless manual handling tasks like typing or lifting trays can lead to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in employees. MSDs range from minor injuries to chronic pain and can be caused by repetitive movements, poor posture, or awkward positions. Employers should conduct risk assessments to identify and control these risks by providing proper equipment, training employees on safe practices, and adjusting workflows to minimize manual handling wherever possible.
