24.01.2022 Did you know there is no prescribed weight limit for men or women that is illegal to lift in a workplace? Instead a risk management approach needs to be taken and must consider a number of factors such as; The number of times the load is lifted; The person's posture when lifting; The distance the load is to be moved; and ... The features of the load. The weight of the load will increase the risk, but a light load may still pose a risk when combined with the above factors. For more information on manual handling and how to identify the hazards and assess and control the risks, check out the link below. http://www.vwa.vic.gov.au//0/9426/COP25_manualhandling.pdf
