Manual handling
Manual handling course overview
Incorrect manual handling is responsible for more than a third of all workplace injuries that are reported to authorities each year.
If manual handling is not carried out properly it can have significant consequences on your health (musculoskeletal disorders), mainly if you carry out manual handling operations regularly. A manual handling risk assessment may be in order depending on if your workplace is handling heavy loads.
Maintaining a healthy back is also vital in enabling you to meet the demands of your everyday responsibilities – at work, at home, and during your leisure time. This training equips you with all the tools you need to protect your back whilst conducting a wide variety of Manual Handling tasks. This course looks at safe moving and handling, the ‘LITE’ technique (Load. Individual. Task. Environment.), and explains why safe workplace lifting is so important to your everyday health.
