According to the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 (MHOR), manual handling is defined as: ‘…any transporting or supporting of a load (including the lifting, putting down, pushing, pulling, carrying or moving thereof) by hand or bodily force’. It requires employers to ensure that all employees are trained and competent in manual handling.
