"The work tasks conducted in the retail sector require people to engage in many different types of work activity. In some cases this will require a person to engage in a work practice which may involve a significant amount of physical activity. Manual handling is a physical activity which takes place in every workplace and in some cases the activity does not pose a problem; however, it is important to be aware that manual handling can be a potential workplace hazard where the activity requires, for example, a person to handle very heavy loads or lift loads to an unsafe height."
