Manual Handling (Transport and Warehousing)
Manual handling across transport and warehousing tasks - lifting, carrying, palletising and team handling of cartons, packaged goods and awkward loads, including repetitive pick-and-pack work.
Objective
Complete the work safely by controlling sprain and strain injuries through designing out lifting, using mechanical aids, team handling and managing repetition, posture and reach.
This is the Transport and Warehousing version. The hazards and controls are written around transport and warehousing work, so it differs from the other 52 trade versions of Manual Handling. Compare all 53.
Built by WHS professionals, written for your state
Every document is built by WHS professionals. Each state version references the Act, regulator, and requirements for the state you select. Victoria gets the OHS Act and WorkSafe Victoria, NSW gets the WHS Act and SafeWork NSW.
