Pushing and Pulling Training Summary:

When you assess a load, you may find that it has wheels or that it will slide across the floor. Take care on slopes as it is hard to stop a load on a slope. Try to get help when moving loads. It is better to, where possible, push a load rather than pull it to reduce the load on your body. Do not get your feet caught under a load.

This course covers general manual handling recommendations laid down by the HSE Manual Handling Regulations 1992, but you MUST check your workplace protocols and practices. Every business conducts its own risk assessments. If in doubt, ask your manager/employer to find out what the exact rules are in your place of work.
