"Manual handling is any activity involving force when lifting, lowering, carrying, pushing, pulling, holding or restraining. It may also include stretching and bending, sustained and awkward postures and repetitive movements."

Both employers & workers have obligations under legislation with regard to manual handling.

Each state & territory has separate legislation specific to that jurisdiction.
