Protect one of your most valuable assets

Manual handling is part of everyday life on farms, from using heavy tools and handling livestock animals to carrying tools and equipment. But these routine tasks are a common cause of injury in agriculture, and the long-term effects can be more serious than many realise. Back and joint injuries often go unnoticed or untreated for years, only to become painful, life-limiting problems later on. Understanding how to assess risks and use safe lifting techniques can help protect both you and your team.
