open-in-new
<p>Manual handling of loads (MHL) or manual material handling (MMH) involves the use of the <a href="/facts/Human_body/WP1QbDTn">human body</a> to lift, lower, carry or transfer <a href="/facts/Mechanical_load/BNmGTv0I">loads</a>. The average person is exposed to manual lifting of loads in the work place, in recreational atmospheres, and even in the home. To properly protect one from injuring themselves, it can help to understand general body mechanics. </p>
