Can I claim for injuries caused by heavy lifting at work?

Yes. Employers are expected to conduct proper risk assessments and provide safe working conditions under the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992. If your employer failed to take reasonable steps (like providing training or equipment) and you were injured as a result, you may be entitled to compensation.
