Why does manual handling result in a risk of injury or ill health?
According the H.S.A. website, many of the issues that cause back pain are the direct result of injury and damage to a spinal disc. Bending over results in pressure on the discs, and may also cause a disc to bulge backward towards the spine. Twisting and bending together put the greatest stress on the spine, especially on the discs, and are examples of work conditions that increase the risk of back injury.
