Manual Handling Infographic

We care about your safety!

When handling heavier objects, consider bending your knees to bring yourself closer to the object's height while maintaining a straight back. This approach helps minimise strain on your back muscles.

Keep the object you're carrying as near to your body as you comfortably can. This practice helps reduce strain on your spine and lowers the chances of injury.

Keep your posture upright when pushing or pulling heavy objects. Leverage your body weight and leg muscles to apply the required force.

When handling exceptionally heavy items, consider working together with your colleagues. Teamwork not only simplifies the task but also lowers the risk of injuries for everyone involved.
