Manual tasks are common throughout the workplace and involve a range of tasks that if not done correctly, can impact on your health. Tasks vary in the degree of risk, but removing all risk is not always possible.

Keeping in mind that the risk becomes greater when combined with vibrations, awkward positioning, repetition, twisting, etc.
