Manual Handling Campaign for Transportation & Logistics
Transportation and logistics work is defined by driving, loading, shift patterns, fatigue, and third-party pressure on delivery times. A targeted manual handling campaign cuts through the noise, makes the hazard visible, and gives supervisors practical materials they can use at the pre-task brief.
What this campaign covers
- Manual handling injuries are common, costly, and often caused by repeated small loads rather than one heavy lift.
- Elimination and mechanisation come first; technique and PPE are the last line of defence.
- A practical campaign trains the task, not just the rule — people need to know what to do with the items they actually lift.
- In Transportation & Logistics, the campaign should address road and yard traffic and manual handling during loading.

Frequently asked questions
- What are the best controls for manual handling?
- Remove the lift where possible using trolleys, hoists, or conveyors. If manual handling remains, reduce load weight, improve grip and route, train the specific task, and set team-lift limits. Technique alone is not enough.
- How do I make a manual handling campaign stick?
- Use photos and videos from your own site. Show the actual awkward postures people adopt, then demonstrate the better option. Supervisor coaching during the shift reinforces the training faster than a classroom session.
- When should a worker ask for help?
- Whenever the load is heavy, awkward, unstable, above shoulder height, or requires twisting. The campaign should make asking for help a positive behaviour, not a sign of weakness.
