Accidents account for more than a third of all incidents reported each year. While fatal manual handling accidents are rare, accidents resulting in a major injury are more common, accounting for more than 10% of the total number of reported manual accidents.
The most reported manual handling accidents result in over-three-day injury, most commonly a sprain or strain, often of the back.
