- Understand why repetition and posture matter as much as the weight printed on the carton.
- Know when to use equipment, ask for a second person, or raise the issue with your supervisor.
Common manual handling hazards for warehouse workers
- Inbound unloading and put-away — repeated lifting from pallets onto racking at different heights.
- Replenishment and restocking — awkward reaches into pick faces during a shift.
- Outbound staging — moving multiple cartons quickly, often under time pressure.
- Shared equipment — pallet jacks and hand trolleys used inconsistently across different workers.
On the floor
Put-away at the end of a long inbound
A container has been destuffed onto pallets and the last hour of the shift is put-away. The cartons are 14 kg each, the racking slots are at knee height and above shoulder height, and the team lead wants the dock clear before the next truck. Two workers start double-stacking cartons to save trips.
Takeaway: The weight didn't change; the risk did. Fatigue, awkward heights and time pressure turn a routine lift into a hazardous manual task. The course's Recognising Risk module teaches you to spot exactly this and to use a step platform or split the load instead of doubling it.
