Course Overview

Our manual handling training course is designed to train participants in how to carry out their work safely to remove the risk of injuries. The course teaches participants how to lift and move materials manually and/or use basic manual handling equipment in a safe manner. The training takes participants through both the theory of why we need to follow safe manual handling techniques and the application of demonstrating and practising safe lifting techniques.

Course Outline

The key areas covered by this course include:

• Identifying relevant standards and legislation related to managing manual handling tasks in the workplace
• Identifying what manual handling is and its characteristics
• Identify manual handling hazards
• How to identify the safest method of movement to reduce the risk of injuries
• Apply different lifting and transfer techniques to manage manual handling tasks
