FAQs

The 5 Ps of manual handling are a framework to help reduce the risk of injuries when lifting or moving loads.

They are:
1. Plan – assess the load and plan what path to take with it
2. Position – stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and bend at the knees and hips
3. Pick – hold the load with a firm grip, with the heaviest side tucked closest to your waist
4. Proceed – walk carefully while holding the load close to your torso, avoiding any twisting movements
5. Place – bend your knees and keep your spine straight to lower the load, only letting go once it’s completely stable
Handling equipment means the tools, vehicles, and devices used to lift and move materials and goods.
Examples of manual handling equipment include:
- Shelf trolleys
- Hand trolleys
- Platform trolleys
- Turntable trailers
- Heavy-duty dollies
- Drum and barrel trolleys
- Pallet trucks, pump trucks, and pallet jacks
Manual handling involves 5 main types of movement:
1. Lifting
2. Pulling
3. Pushing
4. Carrying

The four main categories of material handling equipment are:
1. Engineered systems
