In today's fast-paced work environments, manual handling injuries remain a significant concern for workers across a wide range of sectors. From education and retail to manufacturing and office settings, the impact of poor manual handling practices can be devastating - both for individuals and organisations.

THE SCALE OF THE PROBLEM:

According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), manual handling injuries account for a substantial portion of workplace accidents:

In 2022/23, an estimated 480,000 workers in Great Britain suffered from work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs).
Manual handling is a significant contributor to these injuries, with 28% of all workplace injuries resulting from handling, lifting, or carrying.
These injuries led to 6.6 million lost working days, highlighting the immense impact on productivity and worker well-being.

THE HUMAN AND FINANCIAL COST:

The consequences of manual handling injuries extend far beyond immediate physical pain:

For individuals, chronic pain, reduced quality of life, and potential loss of income and for organisations it decreased productivity, increased absenteeism, higher insurance premiums, and potential legal liabilities. The HSE estimates that work-related musculoskeletal disorders cost UK businesses £7.6 billion annually.
