What Are The Weight Lifting Limits For Males And Females?
There are no legally binding weight limits. However Regulation 4(1) of the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 sets safety standards for manual handling. Your employer must: • avoid the need for manual handling as far as is reasonably practicable; • where that is not possible, assess the risk of injury to employees; and • reduce the risk of injury from manual handling as far as is reasonably practicable.
