Manual Handling is:
“any transporting or supporting of a load (including the lifting, putting down, pushing, pulling, carrying or moving
thereof) by hand or by bodily force”.
In effect, any activity that requires an individual to lift, move or support a load will be classified as a manual handling
task.
