Which policy covers supporting a load by hand or body force?

• A. The Data Protection Act
• B. The Health and Safety Act
• C. The Environment Act
• D. The Consumer Safety Act

Answer: (B)

Handling loads by hand or with body force is about worker safety during manual handling. The Health and Safety Act provides the framework to protect employees by requiring risk assessments for manual handling tasks, training, and safe systems of work to prevent injuries from lifting and moving loads. This area directly addresses how people physically interact with loads, unlike data privacy, environmental protection, or product safety laws. So this policy is the one that covers safely supporting a load by hand or body force.
