where they are stored.

those risks and ensure you are complying with the law.

Did you know more than a third of all over-three-day injuries reported each year to HSE and
local authorities are caused by manual handling?

An estimated 12.3 million working days were lost due to these work-related manual handling injuries.
On average each individual took about 20 days off in that 12-month period.

Using the correct equipment and following a few simple guidelines can seriously reduce these risks.
