What is food manual handling?

Manual handling is the when food and other food-related products are moved through transfer, warehousing, preparation, and packaging. If not trained properly, manual handling can become dangerous to the workers involved with these tasks.

The first step in creating a safe environment for workers is to implement a manual handling training program focused on Food Safety. This program should be mandatory for all workers and train specific techniques on different kinds of equipment to ensure safe manual food handling.

It's always important to make sure your employees have been thoroughly trained on Food Safety and understand Hazard Analysis in order to avoid injuries or costly damages.
