What actions would you recommend when employee is coming back to work after 1 week off due to back problem which is result of his activities during weekend?
-Back to work meeting
-Light duty on tasks related to manual handling
-Manual Handling training
-scheme which covers up to 400 pounds on professional healthcare treatments
Anything else?

It largely depends on what your company policy is with regards to return to work. Presumably the person is fit to return to work, otherwise they would still be off. When you say 'weekend' I infer by that the injury was not work-related.
In the absence of any further information I suggest in the first instance a return to work interview to establish their fitness and the cause of the injury.

Yes injury was not work related, however my concern is that he is doing daily manual handling tasks...
Would you recommend any particular questions on back to work interview related to back problem?
Or put him on light duty...
Should we require statement from GP?
I am asking about best practice in this accident.

The initial back to work interview will largely dictate what measures you put in place. I would talk through his normal day from arriving in the car park through to leaving in order to cover all aspects of his day on site and not just his work.
