Manual Handling Policy Template | Australia
This pre-written Manual Handling Policy template gives you a compliant, ready-to-use document you can put to work today. It is supplied via instant download in fully editable Microsoft Word format, and sets out your Company’s commitment to provide safe work practices, lifting equipment and training for your workers to prevent manual handling injuries.
Manual handling injuries include strains, sprains, torn muscles or ligaments and spinal injuries. These injuries are painful and can take months or longer for the injured person to recover, affecting their work and home life.
Manual handling requires a person to exert force to lift, lower, push, pull, carry, hold or restrain an animate or inanimate object. These activities account for most work practices, so it’s no surprise manual handling injuries are the cause of the highest number of injuries occurring in the workplace.
This 2 page Manual Handling Policy is included in our WHS Management System and OH&S Management System, or can be purchased individually and used as a stand alone document.
