Employers' and Employees' Response to Hse's Guidance on Manual Handling Operations Regulations (Mhor)

The aim of this study, which is mainly qualitative in design, was to ascertain the attitudes of both employers and employees to the Health and Safety Executive's (HSE's) Guidance on the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 (MHOR).

This is of particular interest at the present time in light of the joint initiative between the Department of Health and the Health and Safety Executive entitled "Back in Work" (BiW).
