How to Prevent Manual Handling Injuries at Work?
Manual Handling operations can lead to fatigue and injury, especially when a worker repeatedly performs tasks for long periods due to awkward postures, repetitive motions, forceful exertions, and static postures. That's why organisations and professionals use various measures to control and reduce the risk of injury from hazardous manual handling operations. Following are the main ways that can aid in reducing the risks caused by manual handling or lifting:
- Make the load smaller or lighter, so they are easy to carry.
- Improve the workplace to decrease carrying distances to avoid lifting from floor level or above shoulder height.
- Modify the work routine to avoid excessive work and short deadlines.
- Improve the environment (ensure, i.e. more space, extra lighting, better flooring, or change in the air temperature).
- Ensure that the person doing the lifting has been trained to lift as safely as possible.
