almost. there's a hierarchy of ranking -
first : avoid hazardous manual handling operations so far as is reasonably practicable;
second : assess any hazardous manual handling operations that cannot be avoided; and
third: reduce the risk of injury so far as is reasonably practicable.

Yep, get a sack barrow or something. A fork lift maybe? It depends what you need to move.
