Because it balances your body - and distributes the weight of the object you're lifting evenly.

Why should you stand with your feet hip distance apart and one foot slightly in front of other when carrying out manual handling manoeuvres?

It provides a more stable stance. But this is only one small part of working safely. If possible handle weight at waist height without having to bend down. If necessary, keep your back straight and lift items off the floor by bending your legs , only after assessing the weight. And, only lift weights you are physically capable of lifting. Otherwise, get someone else to help you lift weights over 25 to 35 kilos, as an example.
