General Principles of Prevention:

• Avoid Manual Handling where possible – but train when avoidance is not an option
• Regulation 69(a) of the 2007 Regulations states that, in order to avoid the need for manual handling of loads by employees, every employer must:
  • Take appropriate organisational measures, or
  • Use the appropriate means, in particular mechanical equipment
